What Causes Extreme Nervousness , High BP And Sweating?

I need help with my A & P question. Here it is ....... Mrs. James appeared at the clinic complaining of extreme nervousness and sweating, saying that she could feel and hear her heart thumping when she tried to sleep at night. Laboratory testing revealed hyperglycemia and increased basal metabolic rate. Although she also proved to have high blood pressure, tests of thyroid function were normal. What is your diagnosis? What treatment should be used?

Hi,
Welcome.
Palpitations, thumping associated with sweating can be some abnormal tachyarrythmia (supraventricular tachycardia).
To diagnose it i will recommend you to go for 24hr ECG monitoring called as Holter Monitoring. Also get a 2D Echo done to rule out any associated cardiac abnormality.
Thanks
