Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes High BP With High Resting Heart Rate And Headaches?
I have long qt syndrome, and got an icd 4 years ago. I have done great and am a runner now. I have recently been having high blood pressure and a high resting heart rate of 100. I do run every day and eat healthy, no smoking or alcohol. I have had headaches and swollen feet also.
Considering your complaints and your past medical history, I would recommend performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes of your symptoms:
- a resting ECG and cardiac ultrasound to examine your heart function and structure - a chest X ray study - complete blood count for anemia - fasting glucose for diabetes - kidney and liver function tests for possible dysfunction - thyroid hormone levels for possible dysfunction which could lead to high blood pressure and heart rate - blood electrolytes - inflammation tests (PCR, sedimentation rate) for possible inflammation.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
You may need to start anti-hypertensive therapy. Treatment of the underlying cause (if detected) would also improve the situation.
Hope to have been helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
