Suggest Treatment For Hypertension With Chest Pain, Shortness Of Breath And Forgetfulness
Recently I have been having a lot of headaches with a feeling of lightheadedness, fogginess, forgetting things like my granddaughters names, I can be driving and totally forget where I am or going. I m under a lot of stress right now, even having chest pains, hard to breath, and dull pains in left arm and shoulder area. I know my blood pressure is spiking. I don t have health insurance, so hesitate to go to hosp.
