What Causes High Blood Pressure And Arm Pain After A Mental Shock?
Hi i just rescued my daughter from shooting up a pain killer called Proxicodone like synthetic heroin - i got her into a safe rehab but am experiencing pain down my left arm. The day after her safety my blood pressure ran 180/110. I remained high for a few hours then i got it down to 120/80 yet the pain down my left arm has not let up - should i have this checked out or is it normal to feel this after such a shock i am 58 years old and 105lbs. Please advise

Hi,
You have had a big shock and stress.
The pain and high blood pressure are consequences of it.
Your blood pressure is already normalized and pain should disappear gradually. Take Ibuprofen twice daily for couple of days, if it doesn't help at all or you continue to have pain after some days, then see a doctor.
Take care
Come back if you have any further questions
