Blood pressue leads to heart blockage? Posted: 07-02-08 01:35am
I am 29 years old and gained 16 kgs in 8
months. According to chart i should weigh
between 71 and 79 kgs and right now i am
83 kgs.
I was having health related problems
(headaches and tirdness) so one day i got
my BP checked and it was high - 150/110.
(Also when i have a late meal i get
headache and then the BP goes high).
After diet control it came down to 140/100
then 130/100 and when i went to doc this
morning it was 120/98.
My problem is that i am having a feeling
that something is wrong with my heart
(feel little heavy).
The doc has given me medicine for high BP
and asked me to come back for another
checkup later. She has asked me to stop
gymming and jogging until then.
Am really scared. What is wrong with my
heart
God save me.
Also i have cold and cough for about 20
days which has reduced but not gone
completely.
Can't say if there is anything wrong with
your heart but according to the blood
pressure measurements you probably have
hypertension because your diastolic blood
pressure is above the normal limit.
Hypertension that lasts long time can
cause heart damage (hypertrophy) but that
has to be confirmed with
ECHO-cardiography. ECG is also requested.
Diastolic hypertension can be due to some
kidney disorder so kidneys' function
should be also checked.
You can consult some internist about your
condition.
