Suggest Remedy For High Bp,chest Pains,cold Sweats,disorientation And Dizziness

I just got out of the ER with chest pains, cold sweats, disorientation, dizziness. They said it was anxiety and I dont believe them when i was hooked up to the monitor my blood pressure was 166/99 and my heartrate was 100 for like 20 minutes then dropped to around 67 for the rest of the duration of my visit. My town is notorious for our hospital to be equivalent to a veterinarian clinic so I dont know how well I want to believe the diagnosis.I hope someone can shed some light and opinions.....

Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern.
I will try to explain you something.

You should know that typical heart pains have some characteristics . They usually are retro-sternal pains like squizzing , tightness or heavines.They might irradiate to both arms , neck and jaw.They last from 5-20 minutes and might be associated with nausea,vomiting,tachycardia,difficulties in breathing deeply,dizziness and sweat.

According to high blood pressure values you should know that we talk about hypertension if we have mean value that exceeds 140 /90 mmHg.A person might have high value during emotional and physical strees so its mandatory to judge on mean values.

So, to tell if it is just anxiety or something else if I was your treating doctor I will recommend some examination like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo to evaluate heart function and walls, a full blood analyze, cardiac enzymes and if it is possible a stress test and holter rhythm monitoring to see your rhythm tendency.

Only after this we can better judge what we are dealling whith.
Hope I was helpfull .
Best regards , Dr.Ervina.
