What Causes Panic Attacks And Irregular Heartbeats While Treating High BP?
Hello,I am a 32 year old women, who has had a few panic attacks before. I also have had a irregular heart beat and sometimes high blood pressure. So, before running to the emergency room I was wondering if it is normal to have shortness of breath; as if going up a flight of stairs, along with fatigue and swollen legs?
HI Well come to HCM Thank for asking I really appreciate your concern, it seems to be functional condition, high blood pressure can not be noted temporary unless it is due to some functional factor like seen in phobic condition called white collar hypertension, if this is the panic attack then what ever the symptoms you have could be due to that only, but in my opinion it can not be taken lightly and it is better to get done the cardiac evaluation tests, else it is nothing to worry, swelling of leg could be due to long time standing position, associated with anemia hope this information helps.
