Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi my blood pressure normally is 100 by 52-59. but today it is 118 by 74 and i am feeling severe pain in my chest area, as if it is going to explode. it comes and goes. i am feeling little better now but just about five minutes ago i was in severe pain. what should i do?
Hi, Welcome. Your bp is absolutely fine & is well within normal range but the chest pain sounds bad. It could be related to the heart & you should immediately go to the hospital for ECG & blood tests (cardiac troponins). If both are fine, I'll recommend you for a stress echo to evaluate future risks of getting a heart disease. Thanks
