I am a 38 year old woman. Blood pressure and pulse been running very high. 176/116 when I went to hospital the other day with pulse in the 150 s or 160 s cant quite remember. Was also having chest pain..something I have experienced well from far back as I can remember. The last couple weeks I have been experiencing intense rapid heart rate that it is like I can almost see my heart pounding and it is like either skipping or adding a beat? Not really sure..I have been weaker than I usually am and havent been able to even move to brush teeth. I will go through this weird like sweat and can t breathe. then my whole body will get shaky and I will sometimes get intense pain in my head. Then it seems like after I do some deep breathing and try to relax is when I will get chest pain..I will also get it during those times also but not really sure. And recently been getting very neaseous and have even vomited. Is having that high of blood pressure called hypertension?
