Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
With history of advancing age and high BP and chest pain and tightness on exertion which radiates to Left arm and jaw, probability of having Coronary Artery Disease is there. You might be having Stable Angina.
I would like to know:
1. When does the pain occurs?
2. How does is get relieved?
3. Any breathlessness on exertion or any breathlessness on lying down position?
4. What are your BP readings?
Revert with these details for a better help.
