What Causes Heart Palpitations, High Blood Pressure, and Severe Weakness?

Hello,

A fast heartbeat, high blood pressure and weakness can be signs of an underlying health problem. These symptoms may occur due to stress, dehydration, anaemia, thyroid problems or a heart-related condition. However, the exact cause can only be identified after a proper medical check-up.

Which doctor should you consult?

You should consult a cardiologist (heart specialist) for a proper evaluation, especially if your heartbeat is frequently high along with high blood pressure and weakness.

Which tests be required?

The doctor recommend:

• Blood pressure and pulse rate check.
• ECG to check your heartbeat.
• Blood tests to check haemoglobin, thyroid function and other health factors.
• 2D Echo or other heart tests, if required.

What precautions should you take?

• Take your BP medicines regularly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Reduce excess salt in your food.
• Avoid excessive tea, coffee and energy drinks.
• Drink enough water, unless your doctor has advised fluid restriction.
• Get proper sleep and avoid excessive physical stress.
• Do not take medicines to control your heartbeat or BP without medical advice.

Important: If you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, fainting, severe dizziness, or sudden severe weakness, seek emergency medical help immediately. If your BP is 180/120 mmHg or higher, repeat the reading after a minute. If it remains this high, seek urgent medical advice; if you also have chest pain, breathlessness, weakness, vision changes or difficulty speaking, call emergency services immediately.
