Q. What are possible causes of tachycardia and hypotension?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Tachycardia and hypotension are medical conditions that cause a person’s heart rate to be abnormally faster than normal (tachycardia) and/or their blood pressure to be abnormally lower than normal (hypotension). These conditions can be serious, as they can lead to decreased oxygen supply to the body’s organs. If left untreated, tachycardia and hypotension can have severe health consequences including stroke, heart attack or even death.
Some common causes of tachycardia and hypotension include dehydration, anemia, certain medications such as beta blockers or calcium channel blockers, allergy reactions such as anaphylaxis or angioedema; endocrine disorders like hypothyroidism; electrolyte imbalance in the bloodstream like low sodium levels (hyponatremia), high potassium levels (hyperkalemia) or metabolic acidosis; sepsis – a life-threatening bacterial infection of the bloodstream; internal bleeding due to trauma of some sort; excessive physical activity combined with inadequate bodily fluids intake; panic attacks/anxiety states accompanied by abnormal breathing patterns known as hyperventilation syndrome. Less commonly but not necessarily less important are cardiac problems such as myocardial infarction , arrhythmias from multiple causes such as long QT Syndrome or congenital defects in the heart valves which may impede blood flow through them when pumping against higher arterial pressures caused by fast pulse rates associated with tachyarrhythmias.
If you are suffering from any combination of symptoms related to tachycardia and hypotention it is important that you seek immediate medical help from your local healthcare professional who will diagnose your condition based on both your medical history and diagnostic tests which could include ECG monitoring for arrythmias , echocardiography for structural valve anomalies , laboratory analyses for electrolytes imbalance measurements among other procedures depending on individual cases histories..
