Patient's question:
I have had high blood pressure for over a year and have been relying solely on medication to control it. Recently, I noticed that my heart is beating faster than usual. I want to understand if there is a connection between a faster heartbeat and high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation, there is a history of hypertension for over a year, and it has been controlled solely by medication. Recently, it was found that the heart rate is faster than usual. The fast heart rate is related to hypertension, and it is a mutually influential relationship. It is recommended to take antihypertensive medication promptly to maintain normal blood pressure, undergo a cardiac ultrasound, electrocardiogram, and myocardial enzyme tests to clearly determine the heart condition and receive timely treatment. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life.
