Type 2 Diabetic. Taking Glynase MF. Got Fast Heart Beat And High BP. How To Control It?
Question: I am type 2 Diabetic since 2 years and on Glynase MF tabs. Recently started observing my heart beat go faster, got a BP machine, and found BP on the high side, 140/90 average, for the past few days, have observed slight pain around chest, how do I control BP and is it because of side reation of glynase MF etc., Do let me know if I can present any further data.
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Chronically uncontrolled diabetes affect all the major organs of body from skin to heart to kidney.studies say that people suffering from diabetes are twice likely to have heart problem as compared to non diabetics.
Uncontrolled diabetes results in plaque formation in the arteries which supply blood and nutrients to heart and this condition is called as atherosclerosis.
Keeping your blood sugar levels and blood pressure under control,eating healthy and doing regualepr exercises are required to keep yourself fit.
Since your BP is slightly high and you are having chest pains,you must consult a cardiologist and get yourself investigated by getting required investigations like ECG,ECHO and TMT and if required,a angiogram also.
In case you want to ask any thing else you are most welcome to send any other query or any data.
Best of luck

Eat more of fresh fruits and green vegetables.

Quitting of smoking completely and alcohol in moderation.
Apart from medicines and healthy diet,you must do regular aerobic exercises for at least 45 minutes.Try to shed your weight and be in your required range of BMI.
