Hello, I do hi it cardio and never feel winded. I can climb stairs easily. Yet sometimes my blood pressure shoots up. Today when I checked it was 161/100 with a pulse 105. My ecg is normal. What could be possible problems? I had a chest x-ray too and it is perfectly normal. I am worried about heart attack. In panic, I take beta blockers like telmikind beta 25 and sometimes when I develop high anxiety I take sorbitrate 5 mg p.s. I smoke a lot.

Hello lybrate-user, I am sorry to hear about your problem. Firstly, I would like to emphasize that you need to try and quit smoking. Smoking itself is a risk factor for hypertension. Your overall blood pressure is on the higher side. Your medications need to be increased and adjusted. If your ecg is normal then you probably don't have a heart attack. Please don't take sorbitrate as a routine medication if you don't have chest pain. Sorbitrate is not a medication for anxiety. Let us connect and try and formulate a holistic treatment plan for you. Thanks and regards.
