Patient: Hello I am extremely worried about my mother has had the Helicobater pylori infection twice, her symptoms finished and she was cured 2  weeks ago( or a month i am unsure after suffering) for 7 months. however this past week she has had similar symptoms to the bacterium (back and stomach pain internally and surrounding) and yesterday started to get very high blood pressure. it was 170/110 yesterday at nigh time and 180/108 today this has cause her to have the shiver, As I said I am very worried and was hoping that you could offer a diagnosis and possible help. Doctor: Dear Friend.Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.H.pylori infection spreads by feco-oral route.It is quite impossible practically to prevent the infection due to poor sanitary conditions.however, high blood pressure has no relation with H.pylori infection.Get it evaluated and treated.This BP is very high so requires proper evaluation.This is my personal opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query please ask me.Stay HealthyDr Anshul Varshney, MD
