Tachycardia 140bpm and Hypertention?


Hi
I was wondering if anyone has these symptoms?
I wake up with high blood pressure shaking and
a very fast pulse.
Doctors have no answers for me. I have been checked
with several heart specialist who has assured me it
is not my heart. They have checked for wpw,mitro valve prolapse and other heart conditions.
My holter was normal which I took twice for 30 days each time.
Echo and Ekg was fine.
Although anxiety has not been diagnosed it not ruled out either.
This started after a minor surgery where i was under anesthesia. I also get the same symptoms when getting a shot at the dentist. But also it comes other times, at night.
This has gone on 4 years and currently take beta blockers.
What else could cause this? Does anyone get a heart rate this high with panic ?

140 sounds normal high for a panic attack. You mentioned that ekg and echo was fine, but was it done under a stress test? Was the echo transdermal or esophageal? What was the surgery that this all started with? That sounds like it could be the key? Did they test (hopefully immediately after this started) for any cardiac enzymes? cTNT or cTNI ?

I'll look back & see if you added any more details. Would like to see your last 12-lead strip.

You wake up this way? Could it be hypoglycemia? That can cause you to wake up feeling awful.

Try eating a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread before bed. Cut out all sugar including alcohol (just to see how you feel). I did not look to see if you are male or female. BCP's can make you feel bad in the AM, too.

Your symptoms could be related to anxiety or a panic disorder. Are you experiencing more stress than usual?? You should avoid caffeine, alcohol, reduce your salt intake, maintain a healthy weight, and avoid fast foods. Do you monitor your blood pressure at home?? When you "wake with high blood pressure ", how do you that it's high ?? You mention that you have been on a beta-blocker for 4 years, maybe the dose needs to be increased or switched to a different beta-blocker. Have you been diagnosed with SVT ( Supra ventricular tachycardia, which means that the upper chambers of your heart are pumping too fast)?? I apologize for all the questions but, I'm trying to let you be aware of any other symptoms or possibilities. Do you experience any shortness of breath when this occurs ?? Your Echo, EKG, and holter monitor results were " fine ". The best advice is to contact your Doc and let him/her evaluate your symptoms. I mentioned that maybe your medication may need to be increased or changed and perhaps, your Doc may prescribe a mild tranquilizer. I hope that this helps and Good Luck.

try getting more exercise

Yeah,you are suffering from a panic disorder. I am also on Metoprolol and suffer from anxiety from time to time as well. I thought something was wrong with my heart but everything was find. The only time I get like this is when I'm working to hard and not getting the proper rest.
Let them know that u think its anxiety.The doctors would look over it as it being something more terrifying.
