Are Lupus and high blood pressure connected? I've had really high blood pressure for the last few years but it only started since I started having symptoms. Also my heart rate is amost always over 100 beats per minute. Ive had these things looked at so it isn't urgent but I am just curious if you guys have had a connection with anything like this to lupus.
Also do you have any suggestions that might help with the problem?
Early in my diagnosis, before my meds started regulating and stabilizing my system, I went through a period of high blood pressure and chest pressure. But it has since returned to normal
When last in the hospital, my blood pressure was 227/118 and pulse was around 120. The doctor was pretty sure it is due to pain levels. As soon as they get.my pain under control, it all.stabilizes. so I take.my pain meds now more often. I just don't like how they make me feel.
I started a few years ago and take meds but now am taken herbal instead and take my pressure three times a day.
I have high blood pressure and heart palipations, have had abnormal EKG and Holter heart monitoring for several days abnormal results. My heart is enlarged and failing me. Heart disease is very predominate in my family on my mother's side. My grand father died of a massive heart attack after coming in from the fields. He farmed his land in Carlisle Kentucky. All of my mother's siblings died from heart related issues. 13 all total I think. Not to mention, diabetes and stroke as well. God is with me and I trust him completely. Praise God!
