I am a Heart patient. In 2009, I had a heart attack. I am now 53 years old. I had a blood clot blocking my LAD.at 99%. Prior to this event, my bp ran around 130 to14?/67 to 7? I was also under doctors care for super vatricular tacacardia. I am on several meds to include: Lisinopril 10mg x 2; metoprolo 25 mg x2; 81 asprin ; plavix 75mg 1 time daily.... my colestorol was not bad, however I now take slo niacin 500mg for high trigliserites and Lipotor (mg's unknown at this time) ---- I have been diagnosed with PDSD therefore am also taking Zoloft100mg one time daily and xanex 10 mg x 6 ( 2 morning , lunch bedtime).... I also have some fluid around my heart, but w/o taking meds. during CPR 7 paddles, my stirnum cracked and herniated disk between my should, which remain painful. For about six weeks my pain in my shoulders, back & chest have increased,as well as my BP. Prior to this pain, my BP ran normal of 112/60 HR 60-70..For three to four weeks my BP has increased to anywhere from 142/80 - 170/80... what would cause the sudden increase of BP. It was not a slow rise.
