What Could Cause Sudden Feeling Of Vomiting, Tingling Arm With Elevated BP?
My Mom has a sudden episode today of not feeling well, feeling like she would vomit but did not, tingling in left arm - the EMT s came and they didn t think it was a heart attack but they recommended she go to the hospital. She is thinking what to do. During this episode her blood pressure spiked to 178 / 62. She is 74. Do you know what it might be? She said her blood pressure is normally in the 130s. She is not in the best shape, doesn t exercise a lot. What do you think it was or that she should do?

Hi Sir/Mam,
Welcome to HCM,
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of probable ischemia of brain leading to Transient ischemic attack.
So I advise her to get a CT scan brain and ECG,2D echo immediately.
Drugs like Antiplatelets and Antihypertensives along with Strocit will be helpful.So I advise to consult neurologist and cardiologist immediately and review with reports.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.
