What Causes Chest Pain With Tingling In Arm?

Hi, I used to be borderline high blood pressure. The last five times I have used a at home hp machine it gave me between 166 - 1344 for the sys and 107 - 85 for the dia with a heart rate of 78 - 70. All this at what I consider at rest. The last few days I have had some chest pains I can not explain and now my left arm has son tingling going on. This does sound like a possible heart attack. I am 43 male and a lifts obease. The sill question is should I go to a hospital or wait a little bit?

Hello, Thanks for contacting HCM.
Your BP is on the higher side. The symptoms which you have described, classically fits in the grade of heart Ischemia - a pre Heart attack condition. So my advice is not to waste time and get to a nearby hospital and get an ECG done and get evaluated by a cardiologist.
By the mean time you can take a sorbitrate tablet of 5 mg under your tongue, and if you are not bleeding from any site, or not had surgery recently take a tablet of Disprin or ecosprin.
Be Healthy.
