High Blood Pressure Symptoms – Overview
When my friend Brad told my about his anxiety and high blood pressure symptoms I told him to appointment his general practitioner. While I am suffering from high blood pressure since years and understand some about it, I am not the person to ask for suggestion. So Brad went to the physician and here is what he said.
Brad is not too old yet, just 31 but he is overweight. He weighs 290 lbs and is only 5’09. He has many symptoms which make him worried. He is afraid of having too high blood pressure and blocked arteries. He just went on diet to lose a few weight but the symptoms got even worse.
Two times a day he has periods of shallow breathing that take several hours and is noisy. He also feels a little pressure on his chest followed by tingling in his face and arms. He is doing fine while asleep, the troubles are just during the day.
He is already taking a little Remeron for depression since years and wonders if this has a little to do with his symptoms. The doctor said that since he is guy and obese that he these two danger factors alone ought to be monitored. However, a heart or trouble would cause him to breath deep and rapid and not shallow.
At his age it is also not too probable to have blocked arteries already that are dangerous already. He advised Brad to make an echocardiogram if he is very worried. This charge about thousand Dollars. The general practitioner thought that the symptoms Brad described could come from easily overbreathing. Exhaling carbon dioxide too quick makes the blood alkaline and the stress tingle.
Since Brad is taking pills for depression nervousness the physician he told Brad to watch his thoughts and count his breaths per minute to get out if he is just overbreathing.
Of course, fatness is always bad for blood pressure. The medical doctor advised Brad to lose weight if probable, discontinue smoking and do some exercise frequently.
