As RPM said, putting on heavier strings will put more tension on the neck, which can cause it to bow.
It's not a great idea increasing the string gauge (dramatically anyway) without knowning how to set-up the guitar for the heavier guage. I suggest you take it in for a setup. Can't hurt!
Your in Birmingham right? Take it into Sound control (now reverb)
