Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Given your history, a few possibilities need to be considered:
a. Ischemic heart disease which can cause chest pain ( and the pain near the collar bone you are currently experiencing), a fast heart beat ( due to an arrhythmia). This is a condition when blood flow to your heart muscle is decreased by a partial or complete blockage of an artery that carries blood to your heart. This reduces your heart's oxygen supply causing chest pain, shoulder or neck pain with shortness of breath.
b. Stress and anxiety.
I would suggest that you get yourself evaluated by your treating physician; certain investigations would be required, which would include:
a. An electrocardiogram
b. A treadmill test ( may or may not be done)
c. A blood glucose level
d. A lipid profile
As I believe that more information can help a physician help a patient better, I would be grateful if you can consider the following:
- Over how many months have these abnormal blood pressures been recorded?
- Have these readings been taken at home or by a physician?
If these readings have been taken by a physician over a period of months, then you are possibly suffering from hypertension or high blood pressure. For this, I would suggest the following:
a. Eat healthy balanced diet which should include fresh fruits and XXXXXXX leafy vegetables.
b. Avoid refined sugar, fried food and oil
c. Totally quit smoking if you currently smoke and avoid alcohol
d. Avoid high calorie junk foods such as salty processed foods, pickles, papad, burgers and pizzas.
e. Stay away from carbonated beverages.
f. Avoid stress, practice relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation, which will reduce your blood pressure.
Hope this answers your query, Please accept my answer if you have no follow-up queries.
Wish you Good Health.
Regards
