I'm male late 21's and already taking meds for high blood. 2 months ago, I started having slight adominal pains with gas, went to doc, but everyting was normal. For some time now been getting heartburn everyday. Now for the last 2 weeks, my blood pressure has increased, my left hand has been feeling weak and my eyes seem to be red all the time now. Anyone know why I am having this symptoms? Just wanted to get some input out there before my doctors appointment.

I know exactly what your suffering with, firstly stop taking the BP tablets, flush them down the toilet they are making you worse !
You mentioned your blood tests all came back clear so did mine and I was told by a script writing doctor that I was suffering from stress and to just take these tablets and you'll feel better. I knew there was more wrong with me than stress and very high blood pressure. I went a step further by seeing specialists to find out why I was so sick all of the time. I had further investigations done and it was found I was suffering with a viral illness known as M.E. or what is commonly known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It's a very cruel illness and there is no known medical cure to cure it.
I wake like clock work around 3am every morning with pains and gas in the stomach and hot rush in my lower spine that is very extreme and heartburn in my chest and I found even holding a pillow or cushion didn't offer any relief until I stick my fingers in my throat and make myself vomit. My eyes are always red too I have had every test known to man done to me and they all come back clear. You need to see a doctor who treats patients with this cruel illness and be placed on the right medication to help you to curtain the effects you suffer with. There are people out there that try or tell you of a cure only to leave your wallet empty as your still ill everyday if there was a cure the people like myself who suffer with this cruel illness daily wouldn't still be suffering everyday as we do and have to deal with quack doctors who hand out only antibiotics or antidepressants and there bill. Your not alone there are a lot of people who suffer with what you just described and I being one of them. You should ask your doctor for a referral to see a specialist asap.

I Know this will sound ridiculous, but at this point it won't hurt to give it a try.
I am 65 and I have all of the same symptoms. Just went through a upper and lower GI to try to determine some thing. Nothing.
Sonogram on my Gall bladder, nothing.
I have had acid reflux for many years and finally began having an allergic reaction to wheat and or yeast. So I stopped bread and that made the acid reflux go away. Just try eating a light diet and drinking a glass of Prune juice every day to get your digestive system running smooooothly. For me that has eliminated a lot of miscellaneous problems.
It sounds like you are just generally not healthy. If you are overweight, your diet is probably a great deal of the problem.
If you have high blood pressure with an automatic BP machine. Have them take it manually. It probably will not be so high.
Sometimes liver problems show up in the eyes.
Good Luck.

I am a physician and would really recommend visiting your doctor, because there is no way to tell.
There is a wide deferential for that, one of them is hyper-functioning thyroid gland. It would be a good idea to do some blood tests for hormone levels.

Yeah. You need an appointment with Dr. McDougall. Your health is shot from poor diet and lack of exercise. Here's more:
