Severe Gas Problem With Trouble Breathing After Starting Medication For High BP. Any Remedy?

My mother has just started taking high blood pressure medicine and it has given her a huge pocket of gas. We have been watching her diet and taken gas-ex, but it is not helping. She has it so bad that she is have trouble trying to catch her breath and we have been to the Dr. and the ER and they have told us to just continue to take the over the counter meds. Is there something else out there that is stronger and can knock this gas out? Thank you

Hi, it appears that the drugs used for hypertension may be causing gastric irritation. You can change the drug and use some other drug which may suit to your mother.
Alternatively i to my patient with such symptoms prescribe omeprazole, domperidone , and antacid gel. Thank you.
