Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My blood pressure is elevated the last two weeks. Approx 145/98 pn the average with pulse rate around 60 due to 3 meds I am on for this problem. I feel jittery inside. Could this be a side affect of the elevated numbers? I just lost 90 lbs over the last year and am very surprised with this sudden turn of events. I am also suffering from PVCs and have not had this condition in years. My gp is not concerned for they mostly occur at rest. Can all of this be related to an underlying condition? I would appreciate a second opinion
blood pressure reading you mentioned is certainly not too high to cause jitters, but your heart rate is certainly on lower side. these are one reading we don't know the trend of the events. My advice is you buy electronic bp apparatus and keep track of pulse rate and blood pressure. take frequent readings and make a chart. so if any of readings are two high or low then we can address the problem.
