What Causes Increased Blood Pressure And Heart Rate Before Urination?
I am in the er with my dad who is 80. I just happen to notice that his heart rate goes up before he says that he needs to pee. His blood pressure also goes up before peeing as well as getting short of breath. After he relieves himself, his vitals go back to normal. They ran a blood test and some xrays. Waiting to hear the results. He s on oxygen already but was brought in because he was having difficulty breathing. They are givjng him 8 liters of oxygen. What could possibly be causing his rise in blood pressure and heart rate before urination?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, heart rate and blood pressure is such thing that greatly fluctuating and it is not always due to some disease unless it is being seen by the doctor at that time and taken for some investigation, more over clinical symptoms would be matter of concern so need to worry about this hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
