A heart problem or high blood pressure. The last couple of days my blood pressure has been high but today my blood pressure has been 147/112 with a pulse of 199 and another blood pressure reading of 141/102 and a heart rate of 122. Is this a heart problem or something else. Ps I have chest pain a headache I am dizzy and heart trouble runs in my family

Get to the doctor or ER ASAP.

We can't tell if it's a heart problem or high blood pressure. Tests need to be run immediately, and we can't do that over the internet.

Patman. I notice you have a tremendous amount of questions regarding your health. I implore you to get the advice from a health care professional in person rather than over the internet.

Go to the hospital immediately!
The blood pressure in itself is on the higher side of normal; however, a pulse of 199 is dangerous. Your pulse has gone into tachycardia which basically means a pulse of 100 bpm or more.
I urge you to go to hospital asap for an ECG and full evaluation.

I have had readings of up to 237 beats per minute.

The most important thing for you to do is get to ER, right away.

Heart racing, blood pressure, chest pains,. Heart problems in the family. You need to see a medical doctor to rule out anything.
