Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Ranitidine drug will not cause an increase in blood pressure. However, rising blood pressure can lead to problems like vision changes, foggy head etcetera.
Please be advised to follow up with your primary provider to confirm hypertension and the underlying cause.
Meanwhile, exercise regularly and follow the DASH (Dietary approach to stop hypertension) diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
