I vhave a rolling sensation in my head when I lye down.I feel sick to my stomach.I have been treated for high blood pressure for 15 years.My blood pressure generally stays around 117 over 72.About 6 days ago,it began going to 158 over 106 or around there in the evenings.Because it was a weekend ,I took a second 80mg Diovan each evening.On the thrid evening,I went to emergency.They found nothing.On Tuesday I seen an ear,nose,and throat specialist.He only found a problem with "TMJ".I am now taking 200mg of Advil 3 times a day and Soma before bedtime.My blood pressure is 132 over 83 and going up as it gets later.I have moved recently and have no local doctor.Can "TMJ" cause this rise in blood pressure?
Hello, I went through the history you have provided. TMJ by itself will not cause increased in blood pressure, but the medication Advil which you are taking for TMJ will shoot up the blood pressure.  Also, Advil should never be taken while you are on divan as it will harm your kidney.  The safer alternative pain med are SOMA and plain paracetamol. Also, the initial rolling sensation and stomach pain may be Due to reflux gastritis, where the stomach acid may reflux back in the food pipe. Treatment for the same will resolve a lot of your troubles. Hoping I could help.  Regards Chat Doctor.
