Bradycardia No PM yet!

Hello! I need you guys support. I am a widow, 59yrs, suffer from bradycardia, fibromylgia, and extreme high blood pressure. As it is right now, I am waiting to hear from my Social Sequrity for disablity. I have no insurance, so I am not being treated for my cardiac problems, I have not been had any good luck with bp meds, either I have an allergic reation or making my bradycardia worse. What makes it even worse is that my bp is so high one day last week it went up to 243/115
went back down within an hour. It at times goes down to 100/60. I am so tired and so scared. Please, I just do not know what to do or where to go at this time.............Ann59

If you have started your disability process,take your paperwork to a local attorney. The first visit is free and he will tell you if you have a case(.Sometimes all it takes is letter from your doctor stating you can not work.) If you do,Medicaid will help you out and will take care of some past bills as well until you qualify for SS.

Hi,

Last year I spent 3 months with HR below 38 due to an ablation. I don't know anything about your HR and your bradycardia but as far as I know it's normal to compensate low HR with high BP when you suffer a bradycardia due to a complete AV block (my BP went up to 170/240 and my HR down to 36). The doc explained to me that the heart has more time to take more blood and then is using all the power to distribute the blood to the whole body.

Now I'm paced and the BP is completely normal.

Hope the information helped you,
