Could High BP Along With Discomfort In Chest And Shoulder Affect Health?

My BP has been off on and off. This week my diastolic has been between 100 and 90 not going lower than 90. This morning I was feeling the uncomfortable feeling on my chest and left shoulder and checked my BP and it was 133/ 93 this was right out of bed. Should I be concern?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of simple musculoskeletal pain is more.
But better to rule out heart related causes first because you are having hypertension.
So get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for major cardiac diseases.
Musculoskeletal pain is more likely in your case.
So avoid bad postures in sleep. Avoid movements causing pain.
Take simple painkiller like ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
