question: I was taking 1500 migs of Amoxicillin & 600 milligrams of ibuprofen for a week while fighting an tooth abscess.  My bloodpressure spiked & my cardiologist prescribed an addition pill (diltiazem) to bring it back under control.  I normally take Losartan 50 mgs daily.  Could the ibuprofen & amoxicillin be the cause of the spike.
