Q: what is causeing all of these symptoms.. high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, chest pain and facial numbness

Q: what are some hidden symptoms of high blood pressure? I took my blood pressure today and it was?
147 over 105. My uncle said that is not good.

A: The problem with the hidden symptoms of high blood pressure is just that. . .they’re hidden. Some people get dizzy or find that they’re retaining water, particularly in the ankles and other extremities. But many people have no symptoms at all.

I agree with those who said that a trip to the doctor is in order. In the meantime, cut back on heavily salted snacks and other foods, and limit the amount of fried food that you eat. Get plenty of exercise, but check with the doctor to see what he recommends for you, be it walking or whatever.

The meds for high blood pressure are usually inexpensive and normally don’t have many side effects. But sometimes blood pressure can be controlled by diet and exercise. In any event, please get a check up soon, and I hope everything goes well for you.

Should I be concerned? Perhaps get my blood pressure checked again in a few days?

A: you must seek doctor…. hypertension in pregnancy is one of the biggest problem to be concerned in pregnancy. in addition with your headache, i suggest you to see doctor as soon as possible.

Q: How long do I have to take medication to feel relief from the symptoms of High Blood Pressure?
Headaches

A: Barring any other changes in your physical condition, you may start to feel some relief of symptoms in a day or two. The full effects of the medication should take place within 10 days to 2 weeks. After that, just because you are no longer feeling any ill effects from the high blood pressure do not stop taking the medication unless you check with your doctor. At this point you may want to purchase an automatic blood pressure monitor if possible. Either that or anytime you visit a pharmacy or one of the big box stores (Walmart, Publix, Walgreens, CVS etc.) use their free blood pressure machine if they have one. Keep track of your pressure between doctor visits. You did not provide any details about your physical state, but diet and exercise will go a long way to relieving your symptoms over the long term. Keeping your blood pressure under control is VERY IMPORTANT. Good luck to you.

Q: What are the physical symptoms of high blood pressure? Plz dont say none. Plz read on…?
I’ve tried to find online what the physical symptoms are of high blood pressure, what causes it & some home remedies to treat it. All I’ve read is that there are no physical signs of high blood pressure. But I’ve heard many people say they’ve felt bad & their BP must be up. I’m only 30. I don’t have health insurance. I went to the doctor Monday (had to pay) & for the 1st time in my life, I was told my BP was high, 140/90. The nurse askd if I’d been under a lot of stress, that answr is YES. So nthing else was said about it. I was worried about what they were going to tell me about something else, so she figured that’s what caused it to be high. I felt funny that day. Dizzy, weak, heart feeling like its racing & beating in my throat. Felt like I may pass out. I’ve felt like that every day since. So I’m worrying. Is that how high BP makes u feel? Can stress cause it? Can it be treated @ home? I don’t have ins. Any info is appreciated, thanks!

A: SOmetimes you can feel dizzy when your blood pressure is up, but more likely it’s anxiety. Any time your blood pressure is elevated, your heartrate will be elevated too. Feeling like you may pass out, is probably also anxiety, because generally speaking. LOW blood pressure make you pass out. It can’t really be treated at home, if it is true hypertension. You can reduce your salt intake. Drink alot of water. Those things could help. Also, there are studies that say if you eat a teaspoon of cinnamon everyday (I sprinkle it in my coffee) that it drastically reduces blood pressure. And, definitely, stress can cause high blood pressure. But, you also may have white-coat hypertension (you were nervous at the appointment and therfore your BP was higher). Hope this helps. Good Luck!
