Patient's question:
My relative, my uncle, suffers from high blood pressure. I would like to ask the doctor if high blood pressure can cause palpitations.Doctor's answer:
Hypertension is a common disease in clinical diagnosis. Under normal circumstances, if hypertension is particularly high, it not only causes palpitations but also leads to dizziness. The occurrence of palpitations is mainly due to the rapid flow of blood in the blood vessels caused by hypertension, which in turn slows down the heartbeat, leading to this situation. In this case, it is necessary to have an electrocardiogram checked at a local hospital for diagnosis. If the heart rate is above 100 beats per minute, oral medications to slow the heart rate are required, such as metoprolol tablets.
