What Causes Intermittent Stomach Pain While On BP Medication?
My husband has pain in his stomach. He’s not nauseous, he has pain that comes at times, he says it’s about a 4 on the pain chart. He hasn’t eaten today but has drank some tea. He is 75 years old with no medical issues that are not normal for his age. He takes a pill for high blood pressure that is totally in check. He takes a baby aspirin everyday. He has never smoked.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is most probably due to Acidity and Gastritis.
Do you also have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning? These are other symptoms and may be associated.
You should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals.
Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
You can get the prescription of tablet Pan DSR or Esomeprazole plus Domperidone combination for 2 weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add syrup Sucral O or Gelusil for a week.
For immediate pain relief, he can have antispasmodic like tab Dicyclomine or Hyoscine whenever needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
