I've been dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia since 2012 and it's been pretty frustrating. I've done all sorts of tests and nothing seems to be working out. It's especially annoying with the tachycardia because whenever I start on medication, it works for a bit, then just stops being effective after a while. Right now, I'm taking a mix of meds including metoprolol 150mg (50mg three times a day), ntp 25mg, prazosin 5mg, diltiazem 90 Sr, cilnidipine 10mg, and losartan 50mg among others. This whole situation is starting to feel a bit hopeless. I'm curious if there's anything else I should be trying, or if there's some reason these meds lose effectiveness so quickly. Any insight you could give would be really appreciated.

I'm really confused and a bit worried. I've had all my tests like Blood Cs, Blood test, Urine test, sugar, and ECG done, and everything came back normal. But since June 6th, I've had this weird cold sensation in my hands and feet. I almost fainted after the gym, and now I'm constantly experiencing shortness of breath, feeling weak, sleepy, and hungry all the time. Even a quick walk or a swim makes me really feel my heart. What could be going on with me?

I've been feeling really breathless for a week now, and it got noticeably worse this morning. Plus, there's this chest pain that came along with it. I haven't noticed any other symptoms, but it's starting to worry me. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling this way. Breathlessness and chest pain can be concerning symptoms, and its important to rule out any serious issues like a heart or lung condition. I recommend seeing a doctor as soon as possible for a thorough evaluation, including tests like an ECG or chest X-ray, to determine the cause.
