Yes, during such severe physical stress, the body's pressure can fluctuate greatly. Stay calm, pray, and always make sure medical help is called immediately.

All this talk of BP and heart issues is why I am trying to cut down on my oily samosas. But yes, BP can shoot up or drop drastically during an attack, it's very scary.

Please listen to me. If someone has heavy chest pain or breathing issues, do not waste time checking BP at home. I delayed my father's treatment by doing this and I still regret it.

My biology professor said BP can go up due to panic or drop if the heart is failing to pump. If anyone shows symptoms, call an ambulance instead of searching online.

My BP machine behaves like a roller coaster anyway, but during an actual heart attack, it can go wildly high or dangerously low. Don't wait to measure it, just run to the hospital.

When my relative had an emergency, his blood pressure dropped suddenly and he fainted. Any sudden chest discomfort with sweating requires immediate hospital emergency room attention.

It is so terrifying to witness someone having severe chest pain. Their BP can behave very unpredictably, so please focus on getting them to the nearest ICU immediately.
