Since ace inhibitors may cause intestinal angioedema, could that in turn cause heart arrhythmia?
Was on an Ace Inhibitor, due to a stroke from high blood pressure.The Ace Inhibitor caused severe stomach pain, but kept taking it, as per doctor. Not long after, was diagnosed with heart arrhythmia. Could there be any connection between the Ace Inhibitor, stomach pain, and arrhythmia?
Anything is possible, but ACE inhibitors are not known to cause arrhythmias. In fact, the arrhythmia might have been intermittently present prior to your stroke…making it the likely source of your stroke.
Good luck.
Not necessarily. The arrhythmia may have been brought about more possibly by the stroke you experienced before, from high blood pressure. Or it may have been present before but was just noticed now.
