What Causes Pain In Arm If Suffering From Hypertension?
I am 63 years old, 5 ft. 10 in. and 180 lbs. I have a history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and Type II diabetes. All of these have been controlled well through medication. I have blood tests every three months which show no difficulties. Recently, I have had pain in my right arm periodically. It can last for about 1/2 hour but then it returns. Should I be concerned with this pain in my right arm?
