What Causes Repeated High Blood Pressure With Chest Pains?

my teenage granddaughter has a rarid heart beat. It got to 145. her blood pressure also was high 168/138. This all came on one evening. I took her to the ER and said it was hypertension. But did not tell me what to do if it happens again. Last night she had a rapid heart beat again, I wasnt with her so dont know blood pressure. She also says she has pains severe in her chest and feels like she cant breathe.

Hi! I have gone through your question and I understand your concern .
I would say that what you prescribe it may be a hypertension( HBP.)

But sometimes the blood pressure gets high when the patient are going through a stressful situation ,this is often when the patient exsperience one time in a while and associated with anxiety situations .Sometimes the intake of to much salt or calcium or being overwheight can cause high blood pressure.

I would advise you to meassure your daughter 's blood pressure 3 times a day ( different times a day when she is relaxed) for one week and register the results .
If the result is high blood pressure more than 140:90 , I would recommend to go to your local doctor so he can do some examination to evaluate the heart , kidney , hormonal levels ,cholesterol to rule out any primary cause of high blood pressure .
Meanwhile reduce your daughter your salt intake , calcium intake and if it's neccesaryto loose weight .
Wish these help !
If you have any other question please feel free to ask me .
