Suffering From High Blood Pressure And Heat Rush From Heart. History Of Pacemaker Put In. Is It Signs Of Heart Attack?
My husband is feeling a heat rush from the heart through his whole body then it goes away - and it comes back on and off. All day today ... high blood pressure (165/90) with heartbeat 90 - checking his blood pressure every hour. He also had a pacemaker put in one year ago. he is 60 years old. Is it something to be worried about - could it be the sign of a heart attack?

Dear Ma'm
a heat rush originating form chest and going to whole body is less likely to be anginal chest pain or heart attack, especially if it lasts for a few seconds or less than a minute. however his BP needs to be controlled and definitely he needs to see his doctor for whatever is causing this feeling. do not panic but surely show your doctor.
