Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could indicate possible beginning of arterial hypertension or a possible metabolic disorder.
Anyway, before coming to this conclusion, I would recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours Arterial Hypertension monitoring ( Holter) in order to examine closely your blood pressure values during a prolonged period of time.
Some blood lab tests are necessary too:
- Complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes
- kidney and liver function tests
- cortisol and aldosterone plasma levels for possible adrenal gland dysfunction.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr.Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
