Obviously, it is blood pressure that has caused all the aforementioned observations. However, something must have caused the sudden trigger of it. You should check your family history for such.
So long there is no sickness that's currently building up in your system that could have triggered it, as your doc said, it could be that your body is finding it hard to respond to a current pressure it is undergoing due to work ethics.

At that, you are so young for such symptoms but it is not unusual among ppl of your age bracket.
You did ECG test fine. You need to hit a lab for KIDNEY test asap, I am afriad. This is one of the thousand ways that triggers rise in blood pressure among youths.

Don't wait on your doctor's advice, kindly ask for it. Test should be around 8k. Like the Doctors will say, it is not yet time until we see symptoms. And sometimes, when they see symptoms, sickness has escalated.
If that comes out negative, I assume, kindly eat fruits alot especially avocado tans banana then get alot of rest. Your system will regulate.

Something I should also add is that in the month of August, a friend living in Ikeja travelled out of the country and had me stay in his apartment with my fiancé, I was very sexually active around this time, we had sex more than once everyday until the 25th of August, it was around 24th August I started feeling this type of way, we used condoms through out and I have checked and cleared all doubts of STIs, but the sex was quite exhausting at a time because she always wanted more while she’s on the plus size and I’m a slim guy, so you know I was exerting a lot of energy, my friend joking talked about checking my BP and I waved it off so I don’t know if High blood pressure could actually be the cause of all this or the blood pressure is a result of the sleeplessness.
Son, contact me privately. We'd pray to God in the name of Jesus. And this darkness shall be turned to light!

On no account should you bring your health issues on social media unless probably you need money for health challenges never for advice. Again never for advice. Better still, change your doctor. And once more than 2 doctors insists on one thing stick to it and work with them.

Now lemme state this first so you may relax. YOU ARE NOT HYPERTENSIVE. Your blood pressure is high because you have not been sleeping. Some people will call this secondary hypertension, but I will not.
Once you can get to sleep well, that would be taken care of.
Now, from your hx you seem to have an anxiety disorder. What particular issue never leaves your mind? What can't you help but think about within the space of an hour? What makes you feel bad immediately it crosses your mind and comes quite often?...
Go back to your doctor. Tell him you met a doctor who suggested he thinks alongside an anxiety disorder. Let him take a comprehensive hx to ascertain. And also tell him I suggest he places u on anxiolytics if he feels you qualify. DON'T TELL HIM YOU MET THE PERSON ONLINE. He won't take you seriously. I won't too. And if you will be needing a medical psychologist, he should let you know
.You can send me a personal message if you need more advice
u v said it all bro.is anxiety disorder

MrHenri:
Honestly, I am not trying to scare you but based on the symptoms you just explained, Please I will advice you to go check your KIDNEYS immediately. (Please do not drink any herbal medicine in a hurry and stop drinking Alcohol for now. I also suggest you take some days to rest OK)

Warning!!! Don't ever take any medicine prescribed to you by unprofessional advisers here. It could cause more harm.

Just do what i told you and Be on the safer side.
exactly

Exactly, I went through all the comments and none of them is telling him to go for kidney function test, I’m currently suffering from blood pressure too and when I went to the hospital the first thing Dr. asked me to do is to go for kidney function test (urinalysis , creatinine level, urea level) then I was placed on medication that will help reduce my blood pressure and at the same time protect the kidney.


Most advice he is getting here won’t help him unless he goes to a specialist hospital and undergo comprehensive test.


I did ecg too, x-ray showing my lung, abdominal scan , urinalysis, kidney function text. Some are even prescribing drug for him, imagine telling him to go and buy Valium (swipha talen) a medication that is very addictive. And doctor won’t want you to use it for more than 5 days .


My advice for him is to go and see a specialist or a cardiologist.

Good day people,

A month ago, I suddenly started feeling pain in my chest and dizzy eyes and numb palms and feet, I thought it was shortness of blood because I have been stressed for the past 6 months waking up out of bed getting into traffic to work and coming back in traffic late at night.

The chest pain feeling like my heart skipping a beat still didn’t go away, i couldn’t get a sound sleep every morning I wake up unrefreshed and tired through out the day

I checked my blood pressure one day at the pharmacy and it was abnormally high and I’m just 26 I went to the doctor and conducted PCV to check my blood count, malaria test and fasting sugar, all came out normal, he suspected angina so I also did an ECG which also came out normal, the doctor gave me paracetamol, vitamin B12 capsule and since then that is how I have been frequenting the hospital, each time the blood pressure still high.

Last week I was still at the doctor last Thursday and my BP was 148/96 at my age, yet the doctor doesn’t really tell me much he just keep prescribing the same sleeping pills and vitamin B12 and iron capsule.

Right now I presently can’t help myself to sleep, my day is always filled with fatigue, headache, dullness, I lose concentration at work, I can’t seem to get anything done because my eyes get heavy and my head be pounding me seriously. I don’t know what is going on I’m gradually losing the sharp young man I used to be.

Please, I don’t know if anybody has gone through a phase like this or if we have experienced doctors in the house please.

Please I need all the help I can get

You will have to take responsibility for your health, doing marathon sex isn't taking responsibility cause you are overworking the body. From your blood pressure results you are hypertensive, I home your doctor gave you blood pressure pills, if they didn't pls rush back and get some. All your symptoms are pointing to that direction, you will have to eat healthy and rest well, moderate exercise will also be helpful. As a result of your schedule I will suggest you have lazy weekends to accommodate enough rest. Wish you well.

Didn't say it does. Check up is what it is called. A client of 31 had all these symptoms plus blurred vision. After all tests failed she was asked to do the test. Boom! There are cases and experiences that created a space to ask a client for thorough check up. Whenever, all prescription and atonement seem not giving the desired results u ask for a further test. And remember I said " I assumed it would come out negative" Docs work in experience. If a patient is sick of malaria for example and all the drugs have been given, yet the sickness keeps going back n forth what do you think is next before anything? HIV test recommended!

Angina pain can be very painful right in the middle of chest, it could be a sign of a serious issue or may be as a result of stress

Your heart beat can run fast, faster and becomes irregular at times

I have experienced this before and I realise that I was fading away

The major problem is that you are over working yourself out

Find out the triggering factor

It could be stress from work

It could be lack of rest

It could be an unresolved issues bordering you

It could be your state of mind

Your BP is not bad but you need to be on a boarder line if 140/90 but then, all the above mentioned could be the cause of your BP

Talk to yourself, reduce your financial burden to the bearest minimum, at your age, you shouldn't be Carrying so much responsibility in the family, for you to meet up could be the effect on your health

Heart attack has no notice, it can just happen within seconds, some survive and some don't

If your workload is too much in your place of work, cut it down or resign

Your life is more important than the job

At times you may feel like fainting, that's one the out come of it

If you can't handle your health at this baby age, when you get a family how will you face it

Then stop talking the moment you notice the signs I mentioned, just stay quiet for your heart that has been over worked, let the heart muscles rest

The heart is the engine of the life we are leaving, it has a spare part, but it's as expensive as life itself, so it's cheaper to take care of the heart

Take leave from work and have rest for one month, no drugs just rest, slepp, eat and Continue the cycle

If you don't abide by the rules, you will be spending money on drugs

Well its the first thing i thought of when i read the OP because of the heart palpitations and anxiety, numbness, and this:

my day is always filled with fatigue, headache, dullness, I lose concentration at work,

When people complain of such it makes me think of an endocrine problem

https://www.sleepfoundation.org/articles/your-thyroid-blame-your-sleep-issues

"Hyperthyroidism

When your gland produces too much thyroid hormone, this is known as hyperthyroidism. The condition causes different bodily functions to speed up, leading you to feel wired and jittery. Symptoms may also include feeling anxious and experiencing a racing pulse, making it hard to get into a relaxed state. As a result, people who have hyperthyroidism may have trouble sleeping. When the condition first occurs, it might not seem like a problem since an overactive thyroid makes it seem as though you have endless energy, thanks to a revving metabolism. That sensation is short-lived, however, and as time goes on, you’ll start to feel really tired."

Good day people,

Sir could you please edit your post and tell us what exactly you have been eating recently? Maybe youre taking too much fast food with too many chemicals. If youve been cooking your own food, try not to add too much salt, oil and probably not too much Maggi either

He prescribed you vitamin B12 and iron to combat the tiredness. I guess you would have to keep going with it before you see any kind of improvement

Are you feeling anxious about your finances, work or your upcoming wedding? If so you probably need to speak to somebody you trust. You should probably find a gym and do some light exercise, if you can stand it. Or do it at home if you have the data for youtube

What about your stomach? Do you purge a lot?

Just be wise combining drugs. In fact, the prescribed drugs can add to your feelings if you don't have time to sleep. Know that your problem is not any disease as i can see. You only need time to rest. I am a victim of this some few months ago. I just have to refresh my mind and focus on how to maximize my time for rest. Try to get enough sleep in the weekends. Eat and sleep only. Don't go and collapse o.

Lastly,I have seen a lot of bullshit on this thread ranging from bromatan being an antihypertensive (another said it's for insomnia) to someone making a diagnosis of sleep apnea without any evidence and later on suggesting CPAP grin gringrin grin
Please ignore all these people (including those people advocating alternative medicine) and go to a government hospital

It is almost going into panic attack stage. The thing with anxiety disorder is the fact that you don't see it creeping up on you. Various stressful events follow one another in one's life and then brings on a symptom. Your fight or flight response sees the response as danger. Then you start worrying about various symptoms. Sex, stress at work, etc. are enough to jointly trigger anxiety disorder. Worry makes it worse as your mind keeps throwing dangerous possibilities and effects. Which leads to more worries. In fact for now he is still worried about BP Alone. Soon he will worry about heart attacks, etc. He will browse the internet for hours. And anything Doctors tell him will make no sense. He will look for more Doctors and believe the doctor's don't know what they are saying... Haha.. I can go on and on.
