Question by Aimee: Problems with blood pressure and heart rate? HELP/advice?
I’ve recently had problems with high blood pressure and I’m only 21 years old. Yes I’m a little overweight since I had my son 3 years ago but I’ve never had a problem before. Ever since I started this medication TOPAMAX for migraines, my blood pressure has been a little high. (148/110) The doc says it isn’t from that medicine but I beg to differ. =)
So I am supposed to chart my blood pressure everyday. Go to CVS and check it. For the past 3 days I’ve gone, and my blood pressure has been OK, only VERY SLIGHTLY elevated, but heart rate has been in the 100′s
On Tues- 113
On Wed- 124
On Thurs- 102
when my fiance checks his, it’s like 60
Anybody know why that could be???? I can sometimes feel my heart going BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM fast in my throat I just thought it was normal lol….
Yes my doctor put my on a blood pressure medication I am going to start taking it tonight =)

How about adding your own answer to the comments below!
If your doctor is not treating for the high blood pressure and elevated heart rate, I think that I would change doctors. You really need to be evaluated by a good doctor, and get to the bottom of your problem.
Take care! And Best wishes to you!
