In the past I had an issue with my heart rate being too high and my blood pressure to low. I went to several cardiologist and was told that it was SVT. Turned out all of the trouble I was having was related to the hormones they had me on.
My blood pressure is usually on the low end of the normal range all the time but it has suddenly gone up to 148/96. I know that I can get that under control. What I am worried most about is my heart rate. Since the SVT I have a little pulse monitor thing. My pulse rate is all over the charts. I will keep my finger on it for about 3 or 4 minutes just to see what it does. It may read 134 and a short time later have gone down to 68. It has gotten as low as the 30's a few times. And twice this morning it was below that. The low end range on the meter I have is 30 and I dropped below that and it was unable to get a reading on my rate because I was so low.
I have felt very dizzy lately with a tight pressure around my chest. I just take a deep breath and the pressure goes away for a few minutes.
