A member asked:

25/female visited doc had 153 hr, high blood pressure, and abnormal ekg, blood tests normal, low vitamin d. anxiety or should i see cardiologist?

History & physical: If you don't think you're anxious / upset, look further. Do get treated for the vitamin d lack. A good primary care physician can tell whether this could be hyperthyroidism, pheochromocytoma, aortic regurgitation, medication effect, primary cardiac disease... And direct referrals accordingly. If you're not satisfied, get with a good cardiologist. Best wishes.

Risk factors: Do you have other risk factors like diabetes, smoking, abnromal weight, family history of heart disease, if yes, then it is important to see a cardiologist.

Risk factors: You need see a cardiologist and have an ekg done, along with getting some blood work taken. You rapid pulse may be some thing that needs to be treated. A woman at age 25 may have a secondary cause of hypertension, such as a conn's syndrome or a renal artery stenosis. Make sure these conditions are ruled out before you start some BP meds. You low vit. D level needs treatment by an endocrinologist.
