hi all
Are there anybody here experience hypertension and increasing in heart beat in advance state of als ?
My mum has been suffer with ALS for 11 years and now she has severe hypertension 190/109 and heart rate range from 90+ to 130 bpm. both the blood pressure and heart beat are swing during the days. Last month these come and go. But now seem it happen most of the time. And when it happen my mom will be less conscious and feels very uncomfortable.
She is on ventilator, feeding tube, bowel moment need support by medication like milk of magnesia and almost paralyzed but she could still able to smile.
the doctor do not know the root cause and after blood test he gave med calls Betaloc which will help reduce of heart beat and Expect could bring down the blood pressure as well. After took the med for 4 days although the number look better but her physical look seem worsen. not fully conscious and uncomfortable face still. Doctor also suspect that with the disease progresses it is possible due to the central nerve system that control the involuntary organ also impacted.
Anyone experienced the same symptoms like my mom? Any advices please?
thank you
