Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Pain In Center Of Chest And Low BP/iron Levels Indicate Heart Problem?
I have been having pain in the centre of my chest with dizzy spells and cold sweats , I have also been getting pains in both my arms. I went to the doctor today and he said my blood pressure was low and iron storage levels were low. he performed a ekg which read as normal ( 66). Could I still have heart problems.
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that chest pain and cold sweats are indicative of both heart diseases and anemia. As you said your ECG is normal and low iron profile , that indicates you have anemia.
Anemia can be a big cause of chest pain as anemia can cause shortness of breath, dizziness, headache, chest pain, cold hands and feet etc. so it's advisable to correct anemia with iron rich diet and iron supplements and you will be alright.
Hopefully this will answer your query.
Kind Regards Dr Navneet Mahajan
