What Causes High BP And Redness On The Face?

Ive been feel pressure on my head, accompanied by redness on my face and chest. This have been happening multiple times throughout the day for about a week. I checked my blood pressure for the first time about 1hr ago and it was 139/88. I just checked it again and it's 127/97. Why is my BP doing this and should I be concerned? Should I be taking anything?

Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms (redness in the face and chest) could be related to blood pressure fluctuations.

Anyway, these blood pressure values are not concerning and do not need to be treated.

I would like to know your age and gender. A hormonal imbalance or anxiety could like to such clinical scenario.

If the problem persists, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a careful physical exam and performing some tests:

- a chest X ray study
- a resting ECG
- thyroid hormone levels
- complete blood count for anemia
- blood electrolytes for electrolyte imbalance
- kidney and liver function tests.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing good health,

Dr. Iliri
