What Causes A Sudden Spike In Blood Pressure And Heart Rate Along With Profuse Sweating?
Hello, I have had a repaired ascending aortic aneurism, and 1 stent. My cardio doc says my bicuspid heart valve will need to be replaced in maybe 7 to 10 years. I take BP medicine only. I am 58 year old male smoker. I was just sitting the other day when I felt a thump in my chest , my heart rate went from 60 s to 110, my pressure went from 115/80 ish to 157/98 and I was extremely dizzy and my hands were sweating for a total of 10 minutes then everything went back to normal. ???????
