I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I am 26 and i'm feeling as if the whole world is on me. Palpitation , chest tightness , breathing difficulty , chest pain - i got them all.
My blood pressure was crazy. All along it was 120/80 and it went to 140/90 to 160/90 and back to 120-130/80. Now it is 140/90. There was nothing wrong with thyroid. I have heard of adrenal stress test. Perhaps you want to test your thyroid.
I have 2 echo (but not thallium stress which my 2 cardiologist insist i do not need) which reveal mild trival valve prolapse. I realized it is a potential cause for chest pain. I hope MVP explains ur problem cause it is the least of the worries.
I don't understand. My cholestrol is good (like u) and my weight is ideal. Furthermore i jog 2km twice each week with no difficulty.
I hope u will get better.
I also had an echo and stress tests, which were normal. I continued to have chest pain, pain in right arm when walking, pain in between shoulder blades. My cardiologist told me these tests were not always reliable and the only way to know for sure if I had a heart problem was to do a angioplasty. This test showed I had blockages and I had a 4 by pass heart operation 4 years ago. My cardiologist was unable to put in a stent because the blockages were in an area where it was to risky a procedure. I would have the angioplasty done. Good luck
I'm 23 now, diagnosed with hypertension when I was 21. 6 feet 1 inches tall about 190lbs. My cholesterol levels have been good with slightly elevated triglycerides. I don't exercise very much, but do walk about 2 miles a day after work.
I've been screened for renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytomas, thyroid issues, and the aortic coarctation. I was diagnosed with primary aldosteronism and am taking Inspra 50mg/daily for that.
My concern isn't really my blood pressure as much as it is the pain that I've been experiencing for quite some time. It seems to be getting progressively worse.
Hello
Lots of information. Most of your studies, and you have had a lot, appear normal except for your BP. You have been tested extensively for cardiac disease including echos and a stress test. Im not sure if one of your echos was a stress echo. I might recommend that
Short of that, you mentioned nothing about the condition of your 21 year old body including your height, weight, cholesterol level, level of activity. All potentially important factors in premature hypertension.
Additional causes of non-essential or correctable hypertension include renal artery stenosis, diagnosed by ultrasound, CTA or angiography. Other causes of non essential or secondary hypertension include:
Cushings syndrome
Aldosteronism
Pheochromocytoma
Hyperthyroidism
Aortic coarctation
Sleep Apnea
