What Causes Drowsiness Along With Increased Hear Beat?
Question: Hello doctor ,
Actually my problem was for past one week , I am having mild drowsyness and guideness with occasional higher heart beats. Checked bp and founded 150 /90 and after few hours it became 140/90. Consulted my family doctor who is also a cardiologist. After two days of treatment my bp was 120/80 for those days also. But still after five days I am having same symptoms of mild guideness and occasional higher heart beats. Moreover I experience higher heart. Eats after I eat food. Why this happens ??
My doctor says at my age of 26 it is not any bp factor so he has prescribed some Medicine s for guideness alone.
I have experienced same symptoms four years before and taken all the tests including treadmill and found normal. This time I have not taken any test since my doctor is confident.
But I am totally confused .kindly clear me sir

Brief Answer:
anxiety disorder
Detailed Answer:
hello dear,
welcome to HCM
As I can understand here that your chief complaints are feeling of drowsiness, giddiness, increased heart beats.
On investigations no abnormalities were detected.
Considering this information, anxiety disorder appears likely. More specifically panic episodes.
However in order to have a clear picture, few more information from you will help great.
1) are your complaints episodic or continuous? if episodic
2) how long does the episode last? what are possible triggering factors? what do you do you to relieve it?
3) can you anticipate these attacks?
4) How is you mood lately? How are you energy levels?
5) do you find it difficult to fall asleep?
6) while attacks do you get a feeling of as if the world is about to end?
This information would help to deduct to a specific diagnosis here. After going through history of your other questions asked previously, an anxiety condition with a possible depressive symptoms appears likely.
I presume you have undergone ECG examination and cardiac consultation and found it normal? what are your ecg findings?
Regarding your BP, it appears on slight higher side, however markedly fluctuation. considering a possible anxiety disorder and you young age this BP is acceptable.
Looking forward to have information from your regarding these queries.
