What Causes Elevated Blood Pressure, Nausea And Shortness Of Breath?
Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. From the symptoms, it could be a hypertensive emergency like heart failure/ heart attack (tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, nausea, shortness of breath) or evolving stroke (numb left hand). Consult ER immediately. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Vaddadi Suresh
