What Causes Stinging Feeling In Heart?

Hi I have been vomiting for 1 week and my blood pressure is 143/93 when it usually runs 110/60. I have been short of breath at times and feeling a stinging feeling in my heart. This just came on suddenly. What does all those symptoms mean?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

I would explain that your symptoms could be related to a viral infection (gastroenteritis).

The high blood pressure could be related to stress.

Anyway, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG
- blood electrolytes
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- kidney and liver function tests.

In the meantime, I would recommend taking a PPI (omeprazole, pantoprazole) and an antiemetic drug (metoclopramide).

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
