I have high BP for the first time in my life other than pregnancy.  I've had a few other odd symptoms all since I was in a car accident last May.  Was wondering if the back injury could be the underlying cause of the problems.

Yes, if one vertebrea is out it can pinch nerves, cut off blood supply to certain areas and all other types of symptoms.  They may seem unrelated but are probably directly related to subluxation (your back being out).  You should always seek chiropratic immediately and massage, if possible.  My mother was in an accident 20 years ago, did not get treatment and now has serious health problems because of it.  I was in an accident 2 months ago, got chiropratic immediatly, and massage and have completely recovered.  My second set of x-rays shows my spine has almost completly realigned.  My advice: get chiropractic ASAP.  3 times a week for several months, then 2.. your chiropractor should advise you.  Hopefully you have insurance to cover it!

Actually, I see diabetes first, then high blood pressure & cardiac complications...if we are connecting all three. DM over time takes it's toll on blood vessels affecting circulation, leading to BP problems and/or cardiac problems....and kidney problems....which enhances high BP problems...and so goes the circle when each affects each.\n\nNow, without diabetes in the picture, high BP (not controlled) can cause heart problems and kidney dysfunction.  \n\nThere may well be a higher incidence of DM with hypertension....I would guess if this were true then the pancreas was affected by the hypertention as the heart and kidneys are affected.

Blood pressure issues are not uncommon after delivery.  She needs to get this checked..  It is possible that her blood pressure is high.  This can be a very insidious problem and only getting an accurate reading will help.   \n\nSometimes it seems as though the ob/gyn just drops you after the baby is delivered and you have made it past the 6 weeks....  so if they will not see her then her primary care person would be good.  Edema usually signals circulation problems and is worth getting checked out.

I can't diagnose this but I will tell you that I suffer from hypertension and when I get up sometimes I feel the same way.Its a weird feeling like your head has pressure in it. Get an electronic blood pressure at the pharmacy and check you B.P.twice a day for a couple of weeks and show the readings to your doc.

go to Dr, never heard of this before, sounds a bit freaky though.  but then it might just have to do with lose of blood, my legs really hurt during them, like the blood is having a hard time working my whole body

Hi, I am sorry to hear this.  You didn't state if this has always happened to you or not?!  If it is something new you are experiencing then I would really speak to a Doc.  Sometimes a load of stress in other areas of your life can make you heart race and do funny things.  It isn't uncommon to have panic attacks when stressed or nervous.  There are probably a lot of options out there to help you with out taking meds. I would really talk to your family doctor as soon as you can, just to make sure there isn't something majorly wrong.  Take Care of yourself and remember you are the best judge of yourself and what you need.  Sending you lots of smiles :) :) :)

My mom has high blood pressure all the time even on meds.  I monitor her blood pressure for her.  It is always higher when she's sick.  I know if the top number is 180 you are suppose to go to the emergency room.  The thing with your ear I'm not so sure about.  You should call your doctor just to be safe.

sounds like your pitting (retaining fluid) how is your blood pressure you may need a diuretic- water pill I would not let that go on drink plenty of water and go to your Doctor heart problems are the silent killer and if it is that you are retaining fluid it may be heart related

The after effects of your near collision caused your heart to hurt. That's a delayed stress effect. You could also have had a slight heart-attack. If the pain continues or ifthis happens again, you MUST go to the doctor.

Hi Smoothladyb.  I am a retired Chiropractor so I will suggest a good Chiropractic evaluation, but I would like to make a couple of additional comments.\n\nYour condition is very unusual, which makes it very challenging for any doctor to 'sort out'.  However, just because your symptoms are unusual it does not mean they are not real!\n\nYears of experience (meaning my many screw-ups that turned into learning experiences) have taught me that when the patient has a strong sense about the cause of their condition it often 'pays off' to listen to their insights.  So, if you truly feel like you are dealing with a circulation problem, continue to push your doctors to evaluate that.\n\nYour hypertension and kidney issues clearly indicate that you have problems with your vascular endothelium (the lining inside your arteries).  It doesn't sound like your doctors are addressing this underlying problem, but rather, are merely treating the sign of the problem - the hypertension.  It may be a good idea to find a doc that is more focused on treating CAUSE rather than signs and symptoms.  A good Naturopathic Physician, Chiropractor, or Medical Doctor interested in 'Functional Medicine' may be able to help you.  You can find a list of Functional Medicine docs on the website for "The Institute of Functional Medicine" (just do a web search of that name to find their website).\n\nAn excellent book on Hypertension and related cardiovascular issues just came out called:  "The High Blood Pressure Hoax".  It is written by Sherry Rogers, M.D. and covers a large variety of underyling causes of hypertension and damage to your endothelium (issues that most medical doctors don't care enough about to educate themselves on).\n\nThe last time I checked, this new book was not yet available at Amazon.com, but it may now be there.  If not, you can order directly from the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.  I highly recommend this book for someone like you who clearly has the intelligence and motivation to do a little 'real' learning about your health.\n\nAnother book on hypertension that I might suggest for you is by Mark Houston, M.D., professor of cardiology at Vanderbilt Medical School.  The book is called: "What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Hypertension".  This book is available at Amazon.com for only $10.17.  I have heard Dr. Houston lecture at professional educational semiars and his info. is cutting edge 'medicine'.\n\nI hope this long discourse has been helpful to you.  Best wishes and good luck.

I am just curious about the diagnosis of the doctor about your grandfather. What are the symptoms aside from the back pain that you are expriencing at present? You see there are alot of causes of back pain and the best thing is that you should consult a specialist about it. In that way it will ease your anxieties. It is never too late than never...

Was this a "self test" or one supervised by a doctor or cardiologist?  If it's a self test I would advise you to see a doctor before getting on a treadmill again.  In fact, see a doctor anyway.  That's a very high blood pressure.  An increase in diastolic blood pressure of more than 10 mmHg (optimal is <120) during or after exercise represents an unstable form of hypertension, and may be associated with coronary artery disease.  At 236 you could be classified as well above third stage hypertension.  Really, see a doctor.

You must not worry about your BP as it seems just OK.  As far as your pulse is concerned, the cause of it being 90 could be an anxiety associated while the pulse is being counted by someone or even if you are doing it yourself.  Let someone else take your pulse when you are relaxing and free from anxiety of any sort.  \n\nYour chest pain could arise for various reasons and the most common ones being costo-chondritis (inflammation of the chest cage at the points where the ribs meet with the cartilages), a chest infection like pneumonia or pleurisy), or it may be related to heart or the pericardium.   The best thing would be that you consult your own doctor for it.  However, a simple test would determine whether it is because of the heart or the chest wall/lungs or the pleural coverings.  Try coughing.  If the pain worsens, the chances are that it is not because of the heart.  Good luck.

Take your father to a different doctor for a second opinion and diagnosis.  Perhaps the doctor he is with now is not a specialist.  \nLook in the yellow pages for your area, for a doctor specializing in heart &/or internal medicine.  Those doctors have special training for symptoms you described. \nLow blood pressure is called hypotension.  It can be dangerous, it can cause dizziness and other symptoms due to the blood not circulating properly.  \nDon't wait.  Go to a specialist soon.
