Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My blood pressure went up to 160 over 105 for a while this evening and after I rested it went back down to 135 over 93
it is normally in the 120/125 over 78/84 range
1ive been suffering from a bout of generalized anxiety lately - I have a history of chronic anxiety which comes and goes for over twenty years
right now I seem to be in a very anxious time
I've been feeling my pulse unusually strong in my chest and abdomen off and on for the past few months
I had a doctor listen to my abdomen for an aortic aneurythm but he said the blood flow sounded normal - couldn't completely rule it out without an ultra sound but he said he could usually detect a serious problem just by listening
My pulse seems to be very regular and is usually between 60 and 72
do I need to go to an er or monitor it for a few days?
Feeling a little woozy and awful keyed up this evening but have had similar feelings during past episodes of anxiety
Very worried and will have a hard time sleeping tonight
All of this started with the sensation of feeling my heart beat off and on during the days - seems to be more noticeable when I come home at night
it has slowly been worrying me until I have reached this point over the last week or so
