What Causes Dull Pain In The Chest Radiating To The Arm?
Hi, I m on HCTZ for high blood pressure and I ve been having a lot of the side effects associated with the medication. But now I m starting to get really worried because I m experiencing a dull, thumping pain in the left side of my chest and I have pain in my left arm, mostly the inside of my wrist. Should I go to the emergency room? Or just call my primary care physician?
After going through your medical details I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that kindly get an ECG and echocardiography done and consult a physician personally.

Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
