Can a hiatas hernia or similar ptoblems cause high blood pressure.I have noticed that my heart rate increases fairly after eating.can go as high as 170’87. I am already on bendroflumethiazide,have been for a year.i am 58.
You indicate that your heart rate is 170/87? That’s your blood pressure. You didn’t give your heart rate.
Here’s a question or two;
How large a meal are you eating?
Do you feel pressure or pain when your stomach is full?
Are you having increased heart burn?
If you feel increased pressure/pain after a meal, then that can increase your heart rate as well as your blood pressure.
Have you checked your blood pressure before you eat? Try doing that both before and after you eat to see if there is a measurable difference. That will give you a good indication of how much distress eating causes.
If your blood pressure goes up after eating on a consistent basis, you probably want to see your doctor.

No a hiatus hernia does not predispose to hypertension. As you are on a diuretic I assume it is for hypertension (high blood pressure), so the best thing you can do is see your doctor, You might be getting anxious about it all and that sends a person’s heart rate and BP up.
See your GP, put your mind at rest.
