What Causes Breathlessness And High Pulse Rate While On Medication For BP?
pulse rate is 145 to 155 for the past few days. I currently take blood pressure meds but my blood pressure is 118/82 which is my normal. sometimes I do feel a bit light headed for 1 to 2 minutes and then go back to normal, recently even walking up a flight of stairs gets me winded or short of breath, sometimes I get a light weakness and my arms but it goes back to normal. s

Hi,
Shortness of breath is not because of BP medication and these symptoms can be very relevant and should always be evaluated.
I hope you are not diabetic. I'll recommend you to get a ECG and 2D echo to rule out any possible Cardiac cause of above symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
