What Causes Rise In Blood Pressure On Intake Of Food?

Dear Dr. I 100% believe I have a problem with my Vagus Nerve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I m laying here in bed; and I m afraid I m dying; and I m never gonna see my kids or grandkids again. I can t eat; not even a spoonful without vommitting; my husband is fixing dinner; and I know i ll vomit after I eat the baked potato and hamburg on a plate with a little ketchup; no bread. But; it really doesn t matter what I eat; all I KNOW FOR SURE; is within a hour after I eat my heart rate is going to speed up and up and up and my BP is going to rise and rise until I vomit; then i ll start feeling better; and my BP will go back down again. I was fine; then since the day after we flew into Tampa on Feb. 23rd; I started vomiting on Feb. 24th; and before I vomited my heart was racing so fast; but after vomiting I felt better. But; it kept going on and on; after 3 days of the vomiting I went to Dr. Phillips Hospital in Orlando. They kept me 3 days; and finally released me with Xanax(which I haven t taken), Atorvastatin(which I haven t taken) and 160mg of Diovan(or rather the generic). So; I figured I must be getting to that age that my BP is going up like everyone else in my moms family. They also told me I have a issue with my Thyroid; but I suspected that; cause I haven t been able to lose weight in the last 6 months. ONE OF THESE TWO HOSPITALS TRIED TO DO A CHEMICAL STRESS TEST ON ME; AND AS SOON AS THE GIRL GAVE ME THE FIRST SHOT; MY HEART WAS RACING AND RACING SO HARD; I STARTED TO VOMMIT; AND SHE WAS TELLING THE DOCTOR THEY HAVE A GXC OR SOMETHING; AND SHE QUICKLY BROUGHT MY HEART RATE BACK DOWN; I JUST CAN T REMEMBER WHICH HOSPITAL DID THAT. Then on March 3rd, 2015; the week after I was at Dr. PHillips Hospital; I couldn t make it to the elevator at a Disney resort hotel; without everything blacking out. Everything was so weird; everything I thought I was doing; I was doing something different. Then everything went black in the elevator; and my husband got out; and I got stuck in the elevator; and some kids got me to the bottom floor. And; I couldn t see anything; and was dizzy; so I went down to the floor; to keep from falling. My husband got me back to the room and called hotel emt s. Well; the resort talked me into going to Florida Celebration Hospital. So; I went reluctingly; cause we were there with our daughter and granddaughters. And; they did a CT scan on my head in the ER; and took me up to a room; because the Dr. in the ER said something in my EKG was flowing the wrong way; and there could be a blockage; but they didn t do any scan on my chest; they had me sitting there for two more days; not telling me anything. And; then I got up and got dressed; and pulled out some of my IVs accept one; and asked to be released. And; a Doctor comes in and said he s gonna give me Norvasc to go with the Diovan; and I said OK; if that ll work. Then they tell me I have to wait for a Cardiologist to release me. We waited 5 hours for him; and he comes in and says he wants to do some scans on my chest; and I asked him WHY DIDN T YOU DO ANY TESTS THE LAST 3 DAYS I VE BEEN LAYING HERE? AND HE JUST APOLOGIZES TO ME; AND I TOLD HIM I LL FIND A PCP OVER BY TAMPA; AND SHE CAN SEND ME FOR MORE TESTS AND TO A CARDIOLOGIST. AND BEFORE HE RELEASES ME; HE PUTS ME ON METROPOLOL 25MG IN THE AND 25 MG IN THE AFTERNOON. And; I m thinking why are three different doctors putting me on different things. idk. SO; I FOLLOWED THROUGH AND SAW A DOCTOR WITHIN A WEEK; AND SHE ADDS A WATER PILL TO THE 160MG DIOVAN. But; the Diovan is not working; cause as soon as I ate; my heart rate would speed up; and I d vomit. So; I have been using my husbands VA BP cuff; and I take my BP at night and if it s at my normal 90/60 I wait till morning to take the diovan; and my BP was still MY normal; and everything is fine; UNTIL I EAT. AS SOON AS I EAT; I FEEL MY HEART RATE SPEED UP AND UP AND UP; AND I THEN CHECK MY BP BEFORE I VOMMIT. AND; YES EVERYTIME I GET NAUSAUS MY BP IS AT ATLEAST 130/90 OR MORE. even at 120/80 I feel my heart pounding soooooooo hard I can t catch my breath. AND; THE ONLY WAY I CAN FEEL BETTER; AND BRING DOWN THE BP; IS I HAVE TO VOMMIT. SO SOMETIMES I MAKE MYSELF VOMMIT; BUT USUALLY IT COMES UP ON IT S OWN. THEN I CHECK MY BP AFTER ABOUT 3 HOURS; AND ITS GOING BACK DOWN. BUT; SOMETIMES I TAKE UP TO 3 1/2 OF THOSE 160mg Diovan; and it doesn t matter how much diovan I take; it won t bring down my BP; unless I go a whole day without eating; but; it sometimes gets down to like 83/53. and I know it s from taking too much diovan. but; even at 83/53 I can still breathe better; but I do get dizzy, disoriented and lose my balance. *****OK; YOU RE WONDERING WHY DO I THING MY PROBLEM IS MY VAGUS NERVE ************** WELL; LET ME GO BACK TO MY HIGH SCHOOL YEARS; BEFORE HIGH SCHOOL; I HAD SO MUCH ENERGY; EVEN THOUGH I WAS BORN WITH A HEART MURMUR. BUT; DURING HIGH SCHOOL I WAS SOOOOOOOOO DEPRESSED; AND LOST ALOT OF ENERGY. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH HAY FEVER; BUT NOT SINCE 2008; NO HAY FEVER PROBLEMS THEN IN COLLEGE; I NOTICED THAT JUST WALKING UP A FLIGHT OF STAIRS, I LOST MY BREATHE; AND COULDN T CATCH MY BREATHE. AND I GOT MARRIED WHEN I WAS 19; AND HAD 3 CHILDREN; NO PROBLEMS WITH PREGNANCIES; AND NATURAL DELIVERIES. BUT; I DIDN T FINISH COLLEGE; CAUSE I JUST DIDN T HAVE THE ENERGY TO HANDLE EVERYTHING. THROUGH THE YEARS I COULDN T HANDLE ANY STRESS; AND WOULD JUST LAY AROUND THINKING OF WAYS TO KILL MYSELF. THE ONLY REASON I DIDN T WAS BECAUSE OF GOD AND MY KIDS. THROUGH THE YEARS I HAVE HAD MANY ECO S EKG S AND OTHER HEART TESTS; BUT I VE ALWAYS HAD TROUBLE DOING THE STRESS TEST. AND; IT S NOT THAT I WAS T ACTIVE; I WORKED AND PUT 3 KIDS THROUGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE. WHEN WE LIVED IN KENTUCKY FROM 1999-2001; A DOCTOR WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT MY PROBLEM; AND SHE WAS THINKING LUPUS. I VE HAD ALOT OF PROBLEMS JUST BREATHING AND CATHING MY BREATHE; BUT NO DOCTOR EVER TESTED ME FOR ASTHMA. BUT; WHEN WE WERE IN COSTA RICA OF AND ON FROM 2009-2013; I NOTICED I HAD TROUBLE BREATHING AND MAKING IT UP AND DOWN ALL THOSE HILLS. A PHARMACIST GAVE ME SOME INHALERS. THEY DIDN T HELP MUCH. HE TRIED TO HELP ME; BUT HE WAS JUST A PHARMACIST. IN 2013-2014 WE SPENT 18 MONTHS IN LAS VEGAS; BECAUSE MY HUSBAND GOT AN ATTACK OF KIDNEY STONES; AND HE ENDED UP WITH VA; AND NOW HIS DOCTORS ARE VA. THEY PUT HIM THROUGH PTSD AND ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES; BECAUSE HE WAS IN VIETNAM; AND HE NEEDED SLEEPING PILLS AND VALLIUM. I LL ADMIT I VE USED MY HUSBANDS 5MG VALLIUM TO HELP SLOW MY HEART RATE DOWN; AND SOMETHIMES IT WORKED; AND SOMETIMES NO. AND; WE JUST GOT BACK TO THE MAINLAND AFTER SPENDING 6 MONTHS IN HAWAII. I WAS FINE THERE(ACCEPT I COULDN T TAKE THE HUMIDITY); I WAS FINE IN VEGAS(WELL I DID HAVE TROUBLE BREATHING IN VEGAS; AND I COULDN T KEEP UP WITH MY HUSBAND; WHO S 12 YEARS OLDER THEN ME); AND IN COSTA RICA(ACCEPT WHEN WE WALKED THROUGH SAN JOSE EVERYDAY; I COULD NOT KEEP UP WITH MY HUSBAND); ACCEPT THE USUAL NO ENERGY, TROUBLE BREATHING AND HEART PALPITATIONS. I STILL DO NOT BELIEVE I HAVE A BP PROBLEM; ACCEPT THAT IT S ALWAYS BEEN LOW. BUT; THIS IS A FIRST FOR ME; I MEAN WHEN I WENT INTO DR. PHILLIPS HOSPITAL; MY BP WAS 194/99. I LOST MY APPENDIX WHEN I WAS ABOUT 7; AND I LOST MY GALL BLADDER WHEN I WAS AROUND 30. AND THEN I HAD A HYSTERECTOMY(KEPT ONE OVARY); BECAUSE OF ENDIOMETRIOSIS; WHICH I BELIEVE WAS MY FAULT; CAUSE I HAD TAKEN ALOT OF TETRACYCLINE, AND ALLERGY MEDS AND AT ALOT OF SUGAR IN THE PAST. I AM 52 YEARS OLD; BORN 04/22/1962; I AM 5 6 ; AND I WEIGH ABOUT 175 NOW; I JUST LOST ABOUT 30 LBS. FROM BEING SO SICK; IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS. SUPPOSEDLY MY MOM SAID I HAD A HEART MURMUR; AND I HAD RHEUMATIC FEVER. I DON T KNOW WHAT IMMUNIZATIONS I REALLY HAD; BUT I HAD SHINGLES IN 1998. IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS; MY BP HAS BEEN FLUCTUATING BETWEEN 194/99 AND 83/53; AND IT S DRIVING ME CRAZY. I M LAYING HERE THINKING; I M NOT GOING TO MAKE. AND I DON T WANT TO BOTHER MY NEW DOCTOR TOO MUCH; CAUSE SHE TAKES OFF AT NOON TO BE WITH HER KIDS; AND SOMEONE SAID THERE WAS A ARGUMENT IN THE OFFICE; NOT SURE WHAT ABOUT; BUT ITS A HUSBAND & WIFE PRACTICE. I HAVE ALWAYS FELT SICK MY WHOLE LIFE; EVEN WHEN I WAS YOUNG; I REMEMBER SPENDING DAYS IN BED WITH A VERY HIGH FEVER; AND MY MOM PICKING ME UP AND PUTTING ME IN A WARM BATH. SO IDK. ANYWAY; SORRY TO TAKE UP YOUR TIME; BUT I M DESPERATE NOW; AND I M NOT SURE IF I M GONNA MAKE IT THROUGH THIS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME! ROBIN MOORE
