What Could Stabbing Chest Pain With High Bp Suggest?
High Blood pressure
I am a 31 year old femal. For the past three days i have had stabing pain in the left side of my rib cage. The pain travels up to my armpit and numbs my left arm. I have been dizzy and almost fainted on the first day of the pain. I have a pinching feeling on the left side of my chest. My blood pressure was 137 over 65 with a pulse of 83. What is wrong with me? I never felt so weak and tired in my life

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your chest pain is characteristic of heart diseases.
So we should first rule out cardiac cause.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar kind of chest pain and elevated blood pressure.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You will need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
