I am a 52 year old woman with high blood pressure and hypothyroidism.   Recently I have had instances of high pulse (102 resting), shortness of breath, and tingling in my hands and feet.   These usually go away after a few hours.   My blood pressure is staying within normal limits when this happens, but my heart pounds very hard.   It happens whether I am exerting myself or not.   What is going on?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. You're all symptoms can be due to heart diseases like heart failure or coronary artery disease (CAD). You are also having hypertension and hypothyroidism. Both of them can increase risk of heart diseases. So first get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about major heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So better to avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
