Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello

After going through your medical details i would like to suggest you to consult a cardiologist as per your appointment.

A BP of 140/90 mmHg is normal for your age but the symptoms of pain between your shoulder blades and shortness of breath should be evaluated.

Its advisable to get an Echocardiography and TMT done.
