Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When I recently went to eye doctor they checked my blood pressure when I arrived it was 165/115 then after waiting about 20 minutes they checked again it was 175/111 should I be concerned no real history of high blood pressure, just sometimes right now my left arm feels funny and earlier tonight off/on chest pain on left side
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would explain that your high blood pressure values could be related to white coat hypertension, which can be explained by the anxiety at the doctor's office.
Anyway, considering the chest pain, I would recommend performing an ECG and an exercise cardiac stress test.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
