Taking Medicine For High BP. Feeling Tired, Chest Pain And Started Sweating. Safe Remedy?
Question: Hi i have high blood pressure which i take medication for. Lately im very tired and climbing up stairs i get sharp burning chest pain and start sweating
Hi
Thanks for asking.
Chest pain along with sweating especially in a patient with known hypertension needs to be investigated.
Exertional chest pain and sweating can be the markers of ischemia that is the deficiency of the blood flow to the heart although few other conditions like,
Anemia
Acid peptic disease leading to burning chest pain
Postural hypotension from blood pressure medications leading to sweating and dizziness.
I think you need to consult a doctor to go for thorough physical examination along with the investigations to reach a diagnosis.
Thanks.
Please let me know if you need further information.
