Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure And Discomfort In Right Shoulder Blade
I had a headache Friday went to dr blood pressure 142/94 intially. It came down in the office to 142/86. Over the weekend headache has gotten better but my blood pressure on my right arms has been 138/101, 140/96 just this morning 132/97. I have had a few readings 120/86. I have some discomfort under my right shoulder blade. Should I go back to the dr today?
