What Causes Rise In Blood Pressure With Chest Pain?
My bp is going up every day for an hour or so but. The other day I had to go the hospital I thought I was having a heart attack. Today I had chest pressure and when I took my blood pressure it was 180/131. It came down with an extra blood pressure pill and soaking my hands in Epson salt it seems to be happening a little bit when I lay down on my side or move funny

HI
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS.
BP OF 180/130 IS VERY SIGNIFICANTLY ELEVATED BP.I FEEL RAISED BP IS A CAUSE OF YOUR CHEST PAIN.IF I WERE YOUR DOCTOR I WILL CONSIDER ADDING ANOTHER BP TABLET FOR YOU AND ALSO INCREASE THE DOSE OF EXISTING MEDICINES.
I WILL ALSO SUGGEST YOU TO DO SERUM CREATININE TEST TO RULE OUT ANY RENAL CAUSE OF HIGH BP.ALSO ELECTROCARDIOGRAM WILL HELP YOUR DOCTOR IN SELECTING YOUR BP TABLETS
I HOPE MY OPINION WILL HELP YOU
THANKS
