@nickraosr yes. My blood pressure was affected by the PPI’s. I have since dropped them to use zinc-L-carnosine developed in Japan. It controls and treats GERD, but the BP had not come down much, but it is stable now.

Yes my blood pressure which now oscillates 130-150 is from brinsupri. I finally was able to the nurse at NJH and was given three options
1. Watch how it goes. If it stays 130-140 it is not dangerously high
2. Start taking low dose blood pressure medication ( my doctor is on vacation)
3. Stop taking brinsupri - I think it does help so I would not like to do it
I also spoke to Insmed pharmacist who said the same plus that it could be switched to 10 mg and see how it works. So far I start the day with BP of around 130/80 which is high for me but considered normal for my age of 69. Please let me know how your symptoms continue. I hope my body will adjust.
