Heart Palpitation ? ?

Question

I am having a problem that just started last week. I will be sitting at my computer desk and my left breast/pectoral muscle will start to twitch like it is having a spasm, or my heart is beating really really fast. They only usually last a few seconds and I can't feel any pain but it feels weird. I tried Googleing but I can't seem to match up the symptoms. I have extremely high blood pressure though, and could stroke at anytime I guess. (115/230 range) and my father died of a heart attack so heart disease runs in the family.

Answer 1

however you still might have to take some medications to help

see the doctor

Answer 2

my friend you needs to see your doctor to control you HTN, increasing or changing your medications. It is important to control the htn because it can cause problem in your heart and your kidneys also.  

Answer 3

115/230...wow, I thing you should be seeing your doctor rather than plunking away on Yahoo answers. That 230 is gona kill ya soon.

Answer 4

The numbers you quote for the blood pressure don't make much sense, unless you have your numbers reversed, and it was 230/115.  In that case, I would hope you planned to see your doctor tomorrow to have it treated.  Obviously if your father died of a heart attack, and you have blood pressure that high- the intelligent choice would be to take yourself to the ER and have things examined instead of typing on YA.
