urgent!ihad attacks for 6 months.rapid heart yet very low blood pressure, can't walk without dizziness and loss of feeling, no sleep, etc.ideas?

Question

What happens if a patient is feeling dizzy & has a heart rate of 140, why is it important to check their blood pressure?

Answer 1

Chances are: High that you have a lousy diet. Stop all forms of sugar and sweeteners.

Answer 2

Nitroglycerin: Potential side effects in people with or without heart disease are headache, dizziness, and a drop in blood pressure. The effect of the drug is only for thirty minutes.

Answer 3

Why?!: This is a pretty foolish thing to engage in if there's no clear medical need. You can expect severe headache, hypotension, loss of consciousness, dizziness and racing heart. If you have an undiagnosed condition affecting certain organs, death could result.

Answer 4

It dilates them: It temporarily dilates them.

Answer 5

Dilation: Ntg dilates your blood vessels (i.e. Makes them bigger).

Answer 6

Mindfulness: Try reading on mindfulness. It is an amazing way to get rid of anxiety without medication.

Answer 7

Just insomnia: This sounds like what is called psychophysiologic insomnia, a self-perpetuating condition. When you go to bed, you worry that you won't fall asleep, and the worrying prevents you from relaxing enough to fall asleep, which leads to more worrying, etc. This is a very common condition. I recommend a book by dr. Peter hauri, no more sleepless nights.

Answer 8

It depends.: I do not think that a heart condition is likely, given your age and results under normal conditions. It depends on when you get these episodes, and under what circumstances. If they happen during a hectic period in your day, like at work, etc., i would say anxiety is likely. However, if they occur at random points during your day, or after exertion, i would say get a stress test, etc..

Answer 9

Could be: Anxiety is a plausible explanation. There are so many other possibilities that are beyond the scope of this forum.. Best bet is to continue searching for a cause. These symptoms are also consistent with a neuromuscular bite problem. A bad bite can stimulate the hpa (hypothalamic pituitary adrenal) axis (selye) as well as alter cervical vertebral, position and compress axiallary nerves.

Answer 10

May or may not: Gross blood in the urine with flank pain until proven otherwise can be a sign of kidney stones. Uti typically starts from the bladder and if left untreated can potentially travel to to the kidneys with serious consequences. Follow where the pain the starts. Stone starts from the back vs UTI from the bladder.

Answer 11

UTI blood in urine: Uti can cause visible blood in the urine. If no x-ray were performed such as ct or ultrasound then you should have one soon. I recommend a followup w a urologist as soon as possible. A subsequent urinalysis is critical should no work up is recommended on your initial visit. If your pain worsens or you develop fevers, go to your nearest er if your primary care doctor can't see you right away.
