my teenage granddaughter has a rarid heart beat. It got to 145. her blood pressure also was high 168/138. This all came on one evening. I took her to the ER and said it was hypertension. But did not tell me what to do if it happens again. Last night she had a rapid heart beat again, I wasnt with her so dont know blood pressure. She also says she has pains severe in her chest and feels like she cant breathe.
Hi! I have gone through your question and I understand your concern. I would say that what you prescribe it may be a hypertension(HBP.) But sometimes the blood pressure gets high when the patient are going through a stressful situation , this is often when the patient experience one time in a while and associated with anxiety situations. Sometimes the intake of too much salt or calcium or being overweight can cause high blood pressure. I would advise you to measure your daughter s blood pressure 3 times a day (different times a day when she is relaxed) for one week and register the results. If the result is high blood pressure more than 140:90, I would recommend going to your local doctor, so he can do some examination to evaluate the heart, kidney, hormonal levels, cholesterol to rule out any primary cause of high blood pressure.Meanwhile, reduce your daughter your salt intake, calcium intake and if its neccesaryto lose weight. Wish these help ! If you have any other question please feel free to ask me.
