Suggest remedy for tachycardia in a person with high BP
Patient: I am 54 year old female, about 30 pounds overweight, perimenopausal, diagnosed with high blood pressure in 2014, take 1 ten milligram lisinopril daily, left side heartbeart pounds in ear for past two years when I lay on left side, both arms go to sleep during the night depending on side that I lay on, left side has bad circulation all the way from shoulder to toes, have scoliosis since childhood, neck gets stiff on left side but is helped with chiropractor, don t know if bone in neck is pressing on nerve on left side or heart issue, ekg is normal and chest xray normal. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Since your ecg is normal, no need to worry for tachycardia. Yes, possibility of nerve compression on left side of the neck is more likely in your case. You are also having Scoliosis (vertebral deformity). So this can lead to nerve root compression and subsequent left sided upper limb stiffness, numbness etc. So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination of spine and MRI of spine to rule out vertebral pathology. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
