Suggest Remedies For High BP,low Heart Rate And Tingling In My Lips?

my B/P was 142/122, pulse 40 last night, shoulder sore, very sleepy, arms dead weight oh & lower lip tingling. I thought about going to the ER, but take care of mom who had major stroke & depends on me for ALL her needs. Respite will be starting in a week or two and then I can go for testing. This morning my B/P was 114/90, pulse 54, left arm funny feeling and real tired feeling, still sleepy. Can this wait till I get respite for Mom?

Hello,

Your actual blood pressure values are indicative of diastolic hypertension. Besides your heart rate values are really low, indicating bradycardia. The funny feeling in the left arm could be related to a pinched nerve caused by a wrong position during sleep or a stroke. Coming to this point, if the numbness persists in the left arm, I would advice going to the ER for a physical exam, a brain CT scan, and some other tests: a resting ECG, a cardiac ultrasound and blood lab tests (complete blood count, blood electrolytes, etcetera).

If the numbness and tingling improve, it can wait until consulting with your doctor and performing a cardiac ultrasound, a resting ECG and some blood lab tests:
- Complete blood count
- Thyroid hormone levels
- Fasting glucose
- Kidney and liver function tests
- Blood electrolytes
- PCR, ESR for inflammation



Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
