Suggest Cause For Palpitations & Constipations
My blood sugar is 110 mg/dl, my blood pressure is 140/90, I do experience palpitations,nervousness and sometimes anxiety. I am also constipated most of the times. I urge to drink water and go to the restroom most of the time. And I feel like I'm always hungry. I also have a tingling sensation on my hands and feet,when I bend,my legs do have tremors. And I am just 21 years old. What is this all about? Thank you.

Hi,
Your blood pressure is on a higher range for your age. It may be indicative of thyroid problem, obesity, sedentary lifestyle without regular exercises, hormonal imbalance, drug abuse, excessive alcohol intake. Palpitations are indicative of some heart problem or congenital heart disease.
You should get examined physically & get Lipid function test, ECG, Echocardiography, Urinalysis (CT, MRI if needed) done, to rule out any developing cardiac pathology. Constipation is because of unhealthy eating habits(oily-spicy junk food). Take fiber & adequate water. Take warm milk at bed time. Laxatives are effective.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Nupur K,
