What Causes High Heart Rate And Low Systolic And Diastolic Pressures?
Hi,
I am 37, white female, 5'7" 160 lbs.(recent weight gain from edema) no diagnosed conditions but 3+ years of being bounced around from Dr. to Dr. within my HMO and I am convinced there is no way that all of my symptoms are normal. Right now, my resting pulse rate is between 125-135 bpm and my blood pressure varies from 130/103 to 145/115. Yes, I have tried more than one cuff and replaced my batteries to make sure that the equipment isn't faulty. I experience dizziness, fatigue and I seem to get agitated when I have to make any decisions because my brain feels like it isn't working. My hands, feet and lips go numb during any activity until I finally give in and lie down and immediately fall asleep. I have reported this multiple times to my Physician and I keep getting told that I am suffering from depression. When did depression become able to give me every warning sign and symptom of a cardiac problem? I actually feel quite happy and optimistic towards life in general except for the sadness I feel is legitimate as I watch my life go by without me being able to actively participate. Any ideas on conditions that cause a high resting heart rate and systolic and diastolic pressure read to have such a low range. When I am completely hydrated and calm, even my lower end reads are 128/108 to 108/98.

Hi,
Certainly whatever you wrote is a trouble. But i would like to ask whether the pulse of 125-135/min is while you rest or during work?
I must tell you, having a blood pressure (above or around 140/90) and heart rate (above or around 100, but less than 150) during work or stress of any kind (mental, physical or social) is NORMAL.
If you feel dizzy whenever your pulse shoots up and you feel palpitations, it is alway adviced to get an EKG at that very instant, when you are feeling the discomfort. Doing this we can figure it out, whether there is any problem with the heart or its just the reaaction to physical or mental stress.
With all above advices i would ask you to attend special life modulating counselling sections, for assistance.
Regards
