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.
What Causes Left Side Chest Pain While Having High Blood Pressure?
I have chest pains only on the left side. sometimes dull and sometimes sharp. sometimes I have pain in my left underarm and arm and in my neck. It use to occur when lying down so I sit sitting up, now it occurs during the day. I am 45 years old. I have high blood pressure and I weigh 109 pounds. I have a family history of heart problems and high blood pressure.
Hi, This is Dr Sameer, cardiologist. Pain in chest due to heart disease is non localized, squeezing type & increase on exertion. Still i will advice you to do a ECG & stress echo for cardiac evaluation as you have associated risk factors like hypertension & family history. Chest pain can also be simple muscle pain or costochondritis(inflammation of joint between bone & cartilage of chest wall). Both are treated with pain killer. Thanks
