What Causes Weakness And Lightheadedness?
Yes please. My husband suddenly felt shaky, weak and light headed. We stopped at cvs and his blood pressure was good 125/70 but heart rate is 112. He will not go to the hospital. Should I be concerned and is there anything else that I should look for?

Hello dear,
I can understand your concerns about your husband.Your husband has increased pulse pressure(125-70=55,normally should not be more than 40) and increased pulse rate or tachycardia(normal pulse range is 60-100/min) along with the symptoms of weakness,shakiness and lightheadedness.The causes can be-anemia,anxiety,hyperthyroidism and some other systemic causes.Please take him to a physician for detailed history and examination to establish the cause.I hope it helps.
