What's Causing Higher BP, Lower Pulse, Breath Shortness And Nausea In The Sternum In A 60 Year Old Female?
I AM A 60 YEAR OLD FEMALE..I haven't felt myself for the last few days. I am more bloated than usual. I feel pressure in the sternum area. My B/P is normally 125 over 65 - it has been running 150 over 65 since I started checking it last night. Even stranger - my pulse always runs fast 85 to 95 - it is now 50 to 65. I kind of have a naseus feeling in the sternum area. I feel like my breathing is shallow and am also short of breath. I have no idea what this could be so maybe someone can help.

Hi,
From history as there is remarkable changes in your blood pressure and pulse rate with some chest distress with shortness of breathing requires evaluation to rule out any cardiac ailment.
consult your doctor and go for EKG.
Ok and take care.
