Went back to work after 3 weeks off with a neck injury. Day went fine. Left about 3.50PM to get train for docs app. Halfway into my brisk 15min walk to the station felt my chest go funny. Stopped and checked and it was going fast.
To cut a long story short, made it to City Link train stn at which point I contacted a station assistant who helped me lie on floor with cold water & called an ambulance. My chest was seriously racing at this point.
Ambulance came & i was given an ecg in the ambulance. By that time it was calming slightly but was still 120bpm. then it fluctuated between 90 & 110.
Went into hospital as ecg was abnormal to them but was given a clean bill of health as pulse reduced to the 80ish mark.
My BP though was 161/103 on one of the readings which frightened me a little.
Last week it was taken and was 127/91(i think)
Was sent on my way after about 5 hours, but what a hellish evening. & now im worried about my BP!!!
Could it be high as a result of the situation and calm down overnight?
