I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

I'm feeling dizzy lately, and I've noticed my blood pressure readings are consistently around 11665. It's been like this for the past 3 to 4 days. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?

A blood pressure reading of 11665 mmHg is within the normal range, but experiencing dizziness for 3-4 days warrants further evaluation; consider consulting a doctor to rule out underlying causes of dizziness, such as dehydration, inner ear issues, or medication side effects, and to assess your overall health.
