Control: If you take the proper doses of the appropriate antihypertensive medications,Your blood pressure should be controlled. In addition to taking beta blocker medications which also treat hypertension,it's important to abstain from caffeine and alcohol and minimize stress and anxiety in order to control palpitations. Your physician who knows your case the best is most qualified to advise and treat you.

Palpitations: I need more information, Donna. VCD mimics asthma, and if you have high blood pressure and are on medication already, there could be issues related to them causing your palpitations. I need to know what meds you are taking for both issues to make further recommendations. Caffeine and alcohol could also be involved.

Medication plus: GERD testing: many VCD issues can be related to GERD, as well as stress, tension, anxiety panic or thyroid dysfunction. Please get checked for these disorders.
