Once again I am worrying about my heart issue again, Yesterday I went to the hospital again to get a check up, EKG and a blood came back normal, but my blood pressure for some reason the last few days has went up to 160/115. got dizzy, pressure and nausea, that kind of stuff. Anyway, I have Major GERD problem the last two weeks as well, so that is not helping with my problem.

I can felt my heart racing and pounding on me all day long and it had not drop by too much. I took a blood pressure med and it brought down the blood pressure, except for my heart rate is still high. I know I have anxiety, but I'm not convenience that is all Anxiety related and I should not have to worry about dying. it is so easy to be said than done. as soon as i walk 1/2 a block, I felt almost out of air.

any advice or suggestions on why the heart is pounding? and Yes I had been feeling extremely worry, I'm sure that will make the heart rate go up as well, but can that last all day long?

Good Morning,

I am sorry your have problems with your BP and increased heartrate. I would be interested in what your discharge dx from the ER was ? What did the Dr. feel was wrong with the HR and BP both elevated ?

I suspect your anxiety may be at the bottom of your increased heartrate as well as you increased BP. I encourage you to talk with your physician and find out what he thinks is causing this problem.

Also do look into to seeing a therapist to help with your anxiety.

Kindly,
Kitt

i think i realize where the fast heart beat is coming from. the new blood pressure medicine Nifidipine. the med has is out of my system now and my pause is at 80 from 120 earlier.another med that gives me problem.

aso i was reading up some articles online where some people knows the sudden increase in BP is coming from. the Diovan. i am going to tae myself off it and see.so far itis 125/82.

See a cardiologist (heart Dr.).  My heart use to pound and race all the time, so bad I could not get to sleep at night.  I had the EkG, etc. all was fine.  I started taking Vitamin E (natural form) and within 24 hours my palpitations stopped and have not returned.  Please check with your Dr. before you start any vitamin regiment.  Vitamin E has a great track record for heart palps, skin problems, metabolism problems, etc.
