Hi
i have a problem i believe with an over actocr nervous system. For years now i did not believe it was going to be a huge deal. But recently its only been getting alot worse. My heart beats fast, i get dizzy and i get chest pain and it hits out of nowhere and sometimes also causes shortness of breathe ok so tired of it at this point any help is appreciated
Welcome to icliniq
Thank you for writing and I understand your concern.
Ma’am actually it’s due to anxiety only and as you mentioned you believed that there was over reactive nervous symptoms but actually there is nothing like that. The symptoms you are experiencing can be due to anxiety or weakness or low blood pressure. There is no other causes. If you are getting chest pain and rapid heartbeat frequently then I would suggest you to take ECG test once to check what’s going on. Please tell me since when it’s happening? Did you do any test ? What’s your blood pressure
Patient's Query
Normally I’m on the lower side in blood pressure the last blood pressure I had taken was 110/60 but I had to not eat for some time for a blood test. Thank you, yes I think it’s anxiety too but honestly it’s so tiring I’ve been having it happen since I was 14 but now it’s really bothering me. And it comes out of nowhere and my heart rate can climb up to 119 for some time and it’s just uncomfortable. But I’ve tried dealing with it alone and it’s been unsuccessful. Is there any recommendation on what I can do ? I have been feeling very tired lately as well. With no energy can that play a role ?
Yes ma’am definitely I would recommend you. it’s due to low blood pressure only. Physiologically when there is low bp then heartbeat increases. Other hand when person lie down or do activities sometimes suddenly bp go down and due to that also rapid heartbeat is seen. I would recommend you to do ECG once.
Blood CBC reports to check if there is anemia or infection. Then I would suggest you to take very healthy diet which includes lots of fruits and vegetables. And please add more salt to your food. Drink lot’s of fluids such as water and juices and lemon water , coffee all these will help you to increase bp. Take tab Multivitamin 500 mg once a day after meal for 10 days. Please do tests and send me reports I will check for you and let you know further

Thank you so much, I will schedule to do all of those tests and send the reports back as soon as I can. That would make a lot of sense! I will take a multivitamin tablet of 500mg for 10 days as you suggest and drink a lot more water I have been bad at not getting enough water in me or fluids and I will add some more salt to my food as well. Would I need to have medicine for low bp if that’s what’s going on? I’m about to finish my period as well it was heavy for the first 1-3 days if that could have had an influence.
No ma’am you don’t need bp medicine now. If it goes more down then required otherwise no need. Diet will be sufficient.
