Suggest Treatment For Sharp Pain On Left Side With High BP
I have been experiencing some sporadic pain on the left side between the armpit and the breast but I feel it is inside (heart area), for 2 days now. I am on hypertension medication and my blood pressure was 124/81 yesterday morning. Apart from the usual high workload I am not under any other particular stress. I have experienced anxiety episodes (due to the high blood pressure) before but never pain like this. I do regular exercise (aerobic). I have also been taking some Gingko Green Tea capsules to assist in weight loss. Please advice on possible causes of this pain.

Hello,
Even if you have single symptom and is suggestive of cardiac elements, then it needs to be ruled out for the cardiac disease like coronary insufficiency.
I could say that it is not the cardiac symptoms but it cannot be taken as granted or underestimated as you are hypertensive patient and have history of anxiety, so this could possibly cause the cardiac disease.
I advise you to get done the EKG and stress test, just to clear the doubt of cardiac disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Akhtarhusain
