My lips have been chapped, which is not normal. I haven't exercised recently, but ran a 20K a couple of months ago with about 3 weeks of training. Blood pressure has been borederline high for a while, but haven't been to the doctor for a check up in almost a year. Had my heart checked around march and they said it was fine. Been some stress lately with my relationship. Don't know if that is a contributing factor.
Q: over last couple of days, my heart rate has increased and is weaker than normal. i have felt dehydrated, but drink plenty of water. I have been sweating, and feel hot. any ideas?

Hi John,
I recommend contacting your physician for an evaluation to determine the cause of your symptoms and appropriate treatment.
If your blood pressure is consistently elevated I recommend taking steps to lower your blood pressure. This may mean medication (consult your physician) combined with diet and lifestyle changes to lower blood pressure.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson RD
