I'm super shaky and my heart rate and blood pressure have shot way up. I was just laying down and I got really nauseous. I got up and took my blood pressure and it was really high and so is my heart rate. I want to go to the ER so bad. What should I do?

Have you had panic attacks before? Does it feel similar to that? If you feel it's a panic attack you need to remain calm and let it take it's course it will not hurt you. Slow your breathing down but if it is not like a previous panic attack and you need reassurance that everything is okay then I would go to ER.

Just seeing this now - How are you doing now?

A little better. I took my beta blocker and that seems to have helped a little. I was just laying down though and my heart was pounding and I felt nauseous. I really thought something was wrong. I just don't understand. This is a new thing for me. I was at the ER last Thurs though, for the same feelings, and everything checked out ok.

If I took a beta blocker and it helped, does that mean that it was all anxiety related? I still feel nauseous though.

Seems to me that it is the anxiety and panic. I know that when I have anxiety and panic attacks I feel sick to my stomach as well and that feeling can bring that about the anxiety and panic. If everything checked out okay and it is starting to ease off a bit then I would say to try and breath and not worry too much.

Hi

I hope you are feeling better today?

It does sound like you were having high anxiety yesterday which will increase your heart rate and blood pressure. I am glad that your medication made you feel calmer and I hope that you have a better day today. Continue to use any coping strategies you have and try and live in the moment.

Hibee
