What Does High Blood Pressure, Tachycardia, Chest Pain Relate To?
I think I may have a connective tissue disorder (Ehler's Danlos Syndrome?) I'm 23 with high blood pressure and tachycardia (about 110 bpm) and occasional chest pain (EKG normal). I'm otherwise completely healthy and the doctors don't know why I have these blood pressure issues... they want to put me on blood pressure meds... should I be concerned?
