Hi,
I am 53 in good physcial condition 6'4 235. I typically have a resting HR of 70-80 and BP 130/80. I have been off my exercise a few months and gained approximately 10lbs over 8 months. Obviously, I need to get back to the exercise. This weekend my HR and BP suddenly increased and rose to 110 bmp and 160/80 with very little movement. I do not intake any caffine (of any kind - energy drinks, supplements with caffine forms, ...) so it is not from that. The supplements I do take Multi, D3, Garlic, Tumeric + Bromeliam, Fish oil, Gamma E, Royal Jelly, CLA Tonalin, zinc, B-complex and C-complex were checked over by the ER. In the ER I was given a blood workup, CT of lung and XRay of the heart alnog with the EKG monitoring while I waited for test results. Nothing seemed to identified as a problem area. After a night of rest and fasting the next day everything seemed better. Went to eat some beans, rice and vegs at Chilpolte around 6PM and around 3AM the problem was back. Went to the PCP and had the elevated HR and BP. He checked my heart EKG (no problem) and is doing the blood workup. During the day the HR/BP seemed to get better. I ate a light dinner at home and by 3AM the problem seemed to be back. I'm waiting on the 2nd set of blood work from my PCP. I realize that this could be stress related (I'm an Engineer and have never had a problem like this before), however I would like to completely rule out the major stuff first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
