Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Chest And Arms
My wife, age 79 has periodic chest pain and pain shooting down both arms. It starts mild in center of chest then builds up as it radiates and travels to both arms. It is about a level 8 at this time. Stays with her about a half hour. Happens about twice a week. When she takes her Nexium. it is less frequent.

Hello,
Is she hypertensive? Does she have dizziness or breathlessness? Is she taking any other medication? If you have any of the above symptoms along with chest and arm pain you can take tablet Isordil (Isosorbide dinitrate) sublingually (under your tongue) once. I suggest you take an ECG and consult a physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Indhu Priyadharshini
