Suggest Treatment For Severe Stress And Mild Hypertension
A few years ago, I was taking an anabolic supplement, plus under severe stress both at home and on the job. Always had mild hypertension.
I checked into the ER d/t pulse of 142 and BP of 204/110. Was found to have Right bundle branch blockage. Only thing I was given was Ativan 0.5mg. BP and pulse slowly returned to normal. EKG a few hours later showed that the RBBB had resolved.
My question is, which was more likely to have caused the RBBB... Stress, or the steroid-like supplement?
Thank you
