What Causes Chest Pain And High BP?
Question: Mother has chest pain and blood pressure of 192/92... Do we need to go to ER
Brief Answer:
Could be a heart attack, get to a EMR urgently
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I am Dr Mittal
I think you should take her to an EMR as soon as possible.
If possible, alert them that this may be a cardiac problem.
Chest pain in elderly should always be considered a heart attack unless otherwise proven.
Of course there are other causes that may cause chest pain, but they may be less significant.
So I suggest to get to a EMR as soon as possible
