What Causes Severe Pain In The Right Arm While Suffering From Hypertension?

Hi. My name is Aniefiok and am from Nigeria. I just did a BP test today and my blood pressure was high 140/80. I also have intermittent pains of my right arm and transfers to the left of occasions. Sometimes I have heat sensation on my arms and legs. Does it mean I am hypertensive? I am 35years old and have an active lifestyle. What do I do to get the blood pressure down?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having prehypertensive stage.
If you apply lifestyle modifications then you can achieve normal blood pressure without starting antihypertensive drugs.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Loose weight if you are obese.
Strict salt restriction in diet. Avoid oily and spicy food.
Do regular aerobic exercise like running, cycling and swimming.
Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
Your blood pressure will mostly normal by all these.
Right arm pain is mostly due to muscular spasm and not due to hypertension.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
