Bp went from high to normal (ish) rather quickly buuut

I really don't know what happened, I was sitting here after my meal (I have a cold btw) and I felt this weird rush I couldn't identify on the right side of my head. I immediately started to feel this strange tickling sensation in my heart and it felt like I was going to have a heart attack, although I had no chest pains. Just this weird tickling in my hip, groin and chest area, so I had my mom check my sugar (It was 100) I ate a piece of candy for some reason. Took my bp and it was 176/97 with 97 hr.....I tried my best not to panic, walked around, drank some water with drops of apple cider vinegar in it and sat down for a few minutes. I had my mom check it again and it was 110/62 with 82 hr. WTH is wrong with me? Could it be anemia or high bp or anxiety? Also now my muscles either feel weak or tense...its frightening

My mom is a diabetic and she has the finger pincher (as I call it) is that what I needed? It's also strange that this seemingly just happened outta nowhere and now i feel a bit normal again. Almost hada similar episode in the shower but I quickly got out and was fine.

Hi Beale and welcome!

Variations in BP and HR are normal.

You mention two things that stand out to me...

One is you had just eaten. This raises both BP and HR.

The other is that you are sick. When we are not well, this can raise both blood pressure and heart rate as well. If you have taken any cold medicines...this would further increase them.

Then you had a strange sensation, and started to worry...making your vitals increase even more.

I am sure that you are going to be fine.:) If you've not had a recent check up, then now would be a good time to schedule one, and talk to your doctor about what you have experienced. Likely, you are dealing with anxiety...and can talk about your treatment options while in the office.

Keep talking with us if you find it helpful.:)
