Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to high blood pressure values.

Anyway, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:
- a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
- complete blood count
- thyroid hormone levels
- blood electrolytes
- kidney and liver function tests.

Starting anti-hypertensive therapy is necessary as long as your blood pressure values are high and this imposes you at high risk for stroke or heart attack.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
