Suggest Treatment For Hypertension And Rapid Heartbeat And Panic Attack
I am 30, 5 feet 8 inches & my weight is 69 kgs i am a known case of hypertension since last 8 years , i am on medications since last 3 years(Currently on-Tetan-80, and Indap SR 1.5). I live in one of the hottest places in Orissa(India) where maximum tempereture can go up to 48 degrees. Recently i have been sweating a lot due to high humidity and heat while touring out side.Yesterday while driving i had a slight dizziy spell with rapid heart beat and a panic attack kind of feeling, i was under sun for arround an hour by then. My question is can i stop my dieuretic in summers as i am already on a salt restricted diet, my BP hovers arround 120-130/80-90.My physician is out of town for 10 days hence i need your kind help.

Hello,
So this a dehydration rather than any panic attack. It occurs due to excessive loss of water and electrolytes. So certainly, you should reduce the dose of diuretics. Have ORS or fluids whenever such things are repeated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Sagar Makode
