What Cause Sharp Pain In Ears,behind Eyes And Chest?
i am being treated for hypertension with a calcium blocker and a beta blocker. today a noon reading was 157/90 one i took a few minutes ago is 145/92. i have sharp pains in my ears, pain in and behind the eyes and chest pain. i know it isn t a heart attack, just wondering if that is normal.i have been taking meds for hypertension for several years, Lisiniprol, which was discontinued some months ago, and switched to Diltiazem.I was reassigned a provider at the VA just recently, the new one reinstated the Lisinopril just recently.It feels like bp is going back up from my normal state. No real significant reason that I can figure.Wondering if the meds are not working correctly. I notified the VA today, they were supposed to get back to me today, guess I will have to wait until tomorrow.

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your actual blood pressure values are still high.
This means that your actual therapy is not very effecting in controlling blood pressure values.
Coming to this point, I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values in the next days.
If your blood pressure values are persistently high (above 130/80 mm Hg), I would recommend discussing with your attending physician on the possibility of making some changes to your actual therapy.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
