Did any doctor mention a Cardiac Catherization to you - checking for blockage....or....Echo Cardiagram.... Kidneys will elevate the BP....How is your breathing? Do you feel like you can't catch your breath? Atrial fibrillation? Did they present that to you, as BP and pulse do elevate during this time. Try and find a good specialist, or seek out a specialty hospital that deals with the heart/lungs. Don't know where you live, but go on the internet and see in your area any specialty hospitals.View Thread
