So you wake up in your bed with this gut-wrenching acid reflux – and as bad as it is, you think that’s the worst of it.
Then you go to your doctor’s office, who says your blood pressure is high. But neither you or your doctor have any idea that your acid reflux and high blood pressure are connected.
That is… you HAD no idea.
Now you know because today’s article features a new study in the Journal of Translational Internal Medicine revealing how acid reflux can raise your blood pressure 37,7% (that’s a lot).
Why is it important to know this? Because as dreadful as today’s article is, it also reveals how you can eliminate your acid reflux and lower your blood pressure in one swap.
Researchers analyzed genetic data from over 600,000 people using Mendelian randomization, which allowed them to uncover causal links between acid reflux and heart health.
They compared individuals with genetic markers for acid reflux to those without, analyzing data from more than 200,000 participants for heart-related outcomes.
Here’s what they found:
-
• Increased Blood Pressure: Acid reflux was linked to higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
• Poor Cholesterol Profile: It was associated with higher levels of LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and triglycerides while lowering HDL (“good” cholesterol).
• Higher Risk of Heart Conditions: Those with acid reflux genes had a 27.3% higher risk of heart attack and a 35.7% greater chance of developing hypertension.
• Cause, Not Effect: Advanced statistical methods confirmed that acid reflux likely drives these heart risks—not the other way around.
This means acid reflux isn’t just an uncomfortable annoyance—it could be a warning sign that your heart health is in danger.
It’s, therefore, essential that you heal your acid reflux to lower your blood pressure and avoid heart attack.
