What Does Low Heart Rate, High BP And Stabbing Pain In Chest Mean?

I have been not feeling well since February 2010. Been going through testing, etc. to try and figure out what is wrong. For the past 5 or 6 days my heart rate has been low (as low as 49) and my blood pressure has been high (150's or so). Blood pressure has been all over the place recently (one reading was 101/84, but my heart rate was 70). Also, have been getting somewhat stabbing pains on left side of chest and now it is sore most of the time. Just want to know what exact questions I should ask my doctor in order to get to the bottom of what is going on. Thank you!!

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should definitely rule out heart diseases in your case.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done ecg, 2d echo, stress test and Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
We have to rule out heart block, arrhythmia, coronary artery disease (CAD) in your case.
So discuss about these cardiac diseases and above mentioned investigations to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
