Suggest Treatment For Rapid Heart Beat And High BP
Took a pre workout stimulant called noxipro. It was a sample pack so I figured it was 1 serving. Well it happened to be 1.5 servings. I Was feeling good until my heart rate sky rocketed while working out. I couldn t really catch my breath, had shortness of breath, and had terrible cotton mouth with loss of appetite. Took it at 11am and now at 745pm I still feel a little different. But the symptoms went down a bit. I did check my blood pressure and it was at 138/78. That was at like 2:30pm. It s usually around 126/80. I don t know if I m freaking myself out and having anxiety or what but I d like to know if I need to go see a doctor in person. I don t want to have a heart valve issue now.
Hi welcome to HCM. I understand your query and concern. Atrial fibrillaton is known to cause Rapid heart rate and fluctuations in blood pressure.I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography,ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6g/day.Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a daily is useful.Drugs like antihypertensives and antiarrhythmics will help.Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food.Electrophysiological study with or without Radiofrequency ablation is the procedure of choice in your case.You may also need Coronary angiogram to look for any co existent blocks in the heart. Consult a Cardiologist and discuss for further expert management. Post your further queries if any. Thank you.
