high systolic low diasystolic
Posted: 07-04-08 07:59am

Signs are: rapid heart rate, high systolic
pressure and relatively low diasystolic
pressure (as related to the Systolic... a
reading much lower than might be
expected). Example: Pulse rate
123......Systolic 193.....diasystolic
100.....
No signs of MI.....pt. reported feeling
anxious only...
Thank you.

Is this a test of somekind? Your wording
makes it sound this way. And also your
medical termenology says you already know
the answer. Would you like me to answer
this for you or are we playing a game
here?

I appreciate your direction and I shall
take her PCP....planned to do that
anyway.
The tone of your first reply was rather
flipant. That is also appreciated...to a
degree. The answer is NOT apparent to me,
however, nor would I ask such a question
if I knew the answer in the first place.
This was an actual situation which arose
in an Oral Suregeon's Office with my 82
year old Mom. She had just received 2
injections of the local pain killer in her
gum area. He seems a bit perplexed when
she began to become anxious.
And all return to a "normal" stae in about
25 minutes.
I will spare other details. BUT....I was
inquiring from a perspective of a
layperson....& that I am.
Thanks for you time. I shall attempt to
"word" my next inquiry from a low common
denominator level.

In that case, let me say this. In the
future pleas be more specific with you
posting. We can give you any help or
suggestion with knowing the whole picture.
When you post as you did above, we can not
understand that whole picture, hence being
unable to give a conclusive suggestion.
In saying this, it sounds like your mom
could be suffering from anxiety that would
raise her blood pressure. But, understan
it could be the other way around. I would
suggest you take her to a cardiologist for
a proffessional diagnosis. Blood pressure
is nothing to fool around with. And there
is what we call a "Silent MI". Please be
aware of that. From what you have posted
in your topic starter her systolic needs
to be watch carefully. I would suggest if
you don't already have one. Go get a
digital blood pressure cuff. They are
about $30.00. I also suffer from
hypertension and on a beta blocker every
day. Also, your blood pressure can be up
and it will not effect you heart rate.
This is not uncommon at all.

This may be something to think about. She
very well might have had an allergic
reaction to Lidacaine. Although, uncommon
in most cases, can not be ruled out. I
would also mention to her doctor that this
happened after the injections were given.
It is always a better street to go down
when you ask someone how to get there
first.
That could very well have been what
happend.
Best of luck,
Carrie

Thank you Carrie.
That is a very good reminder...had thought
about it earlier as I reviewed everything
in my mind.
The services you perform are good and of
great merit. This latest note suggests
your heart and soul are in this...as it
comes well after the initial reflections.
THAT is the most critical factor and you
are blessed to be motivated with such care
and enthusiasms.
May the embrace of good health envelop
your body, mind and spirit.
Charles

I really don't know what to say Charles
except my deepest appologies if I came off
strong on you. But yes, ehealth is part of
my life now. And helping those in need
come first a formost. Even before myself
most of the time. I am not any better then
the next person. We all here at ehealth
are here because we have the same
compassionn and goal. And that is to be a
part of a family that is dedicated to
helping others.
Yes, being in the field for so very long.
I do hold this board close to my heart as
I was forced into early retirment for
illness. Having some mental issues myself
now, this gives me a sense of
acomplishment that I had at work this
behind the scenes now.
Again, I would like to thank you for your
most surprising jesture of compassion. You
really hit me this morning.
Thank-you
Carrie

Carrie,
I leave you with this thought to
internalize.....
You can overcome
anything.....ANYTHING!
Energies lie dormant, deep with all of
us.....but their silence does not define
their essence....summon them.....be well,
my friend....

That is inspiring Charles and thank-you.
Please continue on the path to
