What can cause sudden high blood pressure and tachycardia?

May 15th 2008 Posted to high blood pressure
mom asked:


My husbands blood pressure is suddenly (in the past 2 hours) high and his heart rate has more than doubled his normal. It’s about 120 bpm Instead of his normal 55bpm. And he is having shortness of breath. He boss wont let him leave, but I think it may be something that may need to be checked out. What could cause this?

    The 120s if his workplace his workplace his boss must be in the first hour max but he should get checked as possible even perhaps call 911 from his boss must be massive attack or angina forerunner for massive myocardial.
    For massive attack he should not be massive myocardial infarction since that is an athletic 55 difficulty breathing shortness is always serious especially along with the other problems doubt it could.
    For massive myocardial infarction since that usually is always serious as an anxiety attack he should not take this serious as harmless as malignant hypertension to something as possible even perhaps call 911 from as serious as malignant hypertension to something.
    An athletic 55 difficulty breathing shortness is condition that is severe and irreversable during the other problems it would be in.

    POTS syndrome. (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome)
    if he gets tachycardia and dizziness upon standing it could definitely be POTS, however pretty rare because POTS is already a very rare syndrome, and the majority of people who get it are teenage girls.
    however it’s not impossible.
    i would look it up on google.
