Beta blockers (like Lopressor) commonly cause people to feel tired and can precipitate shortness of breath.  \n\nIt sounds like you are very focused on your B/P which in some respects is great but you can over kill it too.  Sometimes just stepping back and relaxing a little can be useful.  If you are healthy enough, adding vigorous physical exercise like swimming laps or playing tennis can be helpful in reducing you blood pressure.  \n\nUnless you have some dangerous condition, like an aneurysm, then taking a few months to get the B/P under control is okay.  Most people require two and often three medications to adequately treat the condition.  You are probably saying "Three medicines???"  Taking modest doses of two or three medicines can often produce great results with no side effects.  ACE inhibitors (or ARB's are a newer generation but are more expensive), diuretics (HCTZ) and B-blocker or Calcium Channel Blockers as a third adjunct...these choices can be influenced, however, by other conditions that you are at risk for that might benefit from these medications too.\n\nContinue to work with your medical provider and you will achieve your goal...good luck.

Speak with your parents about it or if there is a school nurse ask them to check your blood pressure this could be a possible cause . It sounds like a check up is in order to calm your fears about it somewhat and it may provide a solution. Good luck. I have high blood pressure and this is a possible cause of the flushing but I'm sure there may be others as well.

There are many causes for ringing (tinnitus) in the ears. By far the most common reason is hearing loss or noise trauma to the ears. Ringing can also be caused by medications, blood pressure, stress, sodium, ear wax, ear infections, etc... It is generally not something serious, but it could be - Although bilateral tinnitus is generally a little less worrisome than sudden unilateral tinnitus, I recommend you see an audiologist of an otolaryngologist (ear, nose & throat physician) just to rule out any serious causes.

Generally there is a spike in both heartrate and blood pressure-however, since a stroke is either a blockade of an arteriole or a burst vessel in the brain, the effect in generated from there- A serious stroke, especially one which effects the brainstem, can cause the heart to stop- a minor stroke may have little effect.

Q:  What are the signs and symptoms of hypertension (high blood pressure)? \n \n A:  Although some people with high blood pressure have symptoms, such as headaches or dizziness, most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms at all. That is why it is so important to have your blood pressure checked regularly by your healthcare provider. This is especially important if you are someone who is at higher risk for hypertension. \n\nIf you have already been told that you have high blood pressure, it is important to have your blood pressure checked regularly by your healthcare provider to make sure that it is staying controlled. \nhttp://www.diovan.com/info/simplystated/hypertension_symptoms.jsp\n\nA moderate increase in blood pressure does not usually cause any noticeable symptoms. Severely elevated (raised) pressure may result in headaches, increase in heart rate (palpitations), and a general feeling of tiredness and ill-health. \nA moderate increase in blood pressure does not usually cause any noticeable symptoms.

If you mean why does it feel as if your heart is beating in your head or hand or foot, etc?  Well sometimes when your blood pressure changes the added intensity of flow will cause your extremity to "beat" but it is just your blood moving through your arteries and each "beat" is a surge of blood.  It happens when you have been exercising, get excited, have a sudden bust of adrenaline or even if your circulation was temporarily cut off and it has recently been restarted (like when you sit on your foot or cross your legs).\n\n\nIts nothing to worry about unless it happens a lot.  If it happens often you could have hypertension and should ask your doctor about it.

Things with stimulants like caffeine and ephedrine (should be off the market) and pseudo ephedrines can cause the feeling of palpitations
