What Causes Headache And Fluttering Sensation In Chest?

Hi, I am a 40 year old, 200 lb, female. I have been having headaches for the past 3 days. Today I decided to stop any check my blood pressure. The lowest reading I had was 135/89. I have also been having a slight beat or flutter in the middle of my chest. Is this something I should be extremely concerned with or maybe just watch over the next couple of days?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I think you have stress related anxiety disorder. Stress is the main reason for headache and momentary hypertension. Your decision not to monitor your BP is the right one. Because, the more you measure your BP the more you become obsessive and anxious. Anxiety disorder is fear related. Whenever your body fears, or becoming anxious, body uses this defense mechanism. This is a natural procedure. You may consult a physician and get your EKG done to be on the safer side.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
