I'm curious about why my blood pressure spikes to 180100 during times of aggression, while it's usually around 11080 or 12080 when I'm calm. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and my echo, ECG, and TMT results are normal. My lipid profile shows LDL at 60, HDL at 37, and total cholesterol at 110. Is there any underlying pathological condition that could be causing these blood pressure fluctuations?

Aggression or stress can indeed cause a temporary spike in blood pressure. Since your heart tests and lipid profile are normal, the elevated blood pressure may be due to situational factors. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider lifestyle modifications. In case of persistent high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe medications like Amlodipine 5mg or Losartan 50mg to help keep it under control.

I've been struggling with this issue for about two years now, and I'm really hoping for some insight. I'm a 27-year-old I.T. professional and this all started with sudden bouts of dizziness and sweating. I've gone through all the usual tests, like MRI and blood work, and the only thing that came up was a low B12 level at 83. Over time, I've begun feeling detached, and my doctor mentioned it might be anxiety. The problem hasnt gone away though, and now I sometimes experience fluttering, dizziness, and vomiting. It feels like I might faint, but I never actually do. I've had TMT and ECG tests twice, and both were normal. I worry it could be some kind of arrhythmia, but during these episodes, my heart rate seems stable with no major changes. It's confusing because these episodes don't seem linked to stress and only last a few seconds. I'm really anxious about this and just looking for a professional perspective on what's happening.
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of panic attacks, which can be very distressing. The dizziness, sweating, fluttering sensation, vomiting, and feeling like you might pass out are all common symptoms of panic attacks. Since your heart rate remains normal during these episodes and your cardiac tests (TMT, ECG) have come back normal, it is less likely to be related to arrhythmia. One possible treatment option for your symptoms could be to take an anti-anxiety medication such as **Xanax (Alprazolam)**. The usual starting dose for adults is 0.25 mg to 0.5 mg taken three times a day. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication. In addition to medication, therapy such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can also be very effective in managing panic attacks. It can help you understand and cope with the triggers of your anxiety. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and response to treatment. If you continue to experience these episodes despite treatment, further evaluation may be needed.
