Suggest Treatment For Shortness Of Breath , Chest Pain And High BP
Diagnosed with high blood pressure for 3 yrs, taking meds. 2 days ago, began having pressure but no pàin in my neck after walking up my driveway (about 200 feet). Throbbing in the front of my neck and upper chest with shortness of breath goes away immediately when I stop. I am 30 lbs overweight, nonsmoker and 60 yrs old. Do I need to seek medical help immediately?
