What Causes Heart Pounding And Slight Tightening Of Chest Muscles?
I am a 48 year old female. My blood pressure readings have been 198/110 - 168/99 for over the last few days.I call 911 yesterday fearing I was having a heart attack. While my heart seemed okay my blood pressure still remains high. Should I follow up with my doctor?
My symptoms are heart pounding, & slight tightening of chest muscles on my right breast. Thank you in advance for your time.
