What Is The Treatment For Low Blood Pressure And A Slow Heart Rate?

I took a very strong pain medication before my stress test and my heart rate was abnormally high the teck had to stop the stress test, normally, I have low blood pressure and a slow heart rate, can taking the pain med before the stress test could have caused the over elevated heart rate during the test?

Thank you for your answer,

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No, taking strong pain medication can not cause rise in heart rate during stress test.
You had severe tachycardia during stress test which actually terminated the test, this suggest possibility of coronary artery disease (CAD) more.
Hypotension, low resting heart rate etc are common symptoms of CAD.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done
1. Ecg
2. 2d echo
3. Coronary angiography.
You may need cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of these reports.
Don't worry, with treatment, you will be alright.
First diagnose yourself and then start appropriate treatment.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
