Can Painful Chest Be A Result Of Hypertension Or Possible Angina?
Hello i recently started running like 3 months ago, I am now running 3 miles like 3 times a week. I have started getting pain only in my chest not in my arms or jaw that goes away in like 1 hour. I am on 32mg of atacand for hypertension could it be heartburn or possibly angina
I am going to see my doctor tomorrow and I am really nervous could the running have caused angina
My cholesterol is normal and my blood work is checked every year by my doctor. My blood pressure I check it everyday it is between 110/65 and my resting heart rate since I am running is 75bpm. I am scared to run now.

hi
as most of your parameter are normal its good
but as chest pain is there while running(exertion) cardiac involvement cannot be ruled out
you have not mentioned your smoking and drinking habiits
smoking if present is a sole risk factor for all cardiac diseases
i would suggest you a easy way next time if during running you feel chest pain, take a tablet of sorbitrate sublingually ,if pain relieves in 10 minutes ...it is very likely to be angina
get an echo cardiography done and a tmt dobne as tmt will reflect any loss of blood supply toheart during exercise ,,,as in you case
