What Causes Pain In Left Side Of Chest With BP Level Of 118/70?
blood pressure was initially 160/105. Doctor said I had hypertension. I was given atenolol and HCTZ and it came down to 130/90. I then changed my lifestyle and started exercising, avoiding canned food, stopped taking table salt, added plenty of fruits and vegetables in my diet. I now take HCTZ only and my latest blood pressure over two weeks was 120/80 and recently 118/70. However I sometimes have pain on the left side of my chest which can be for a whole day despite the lower blood pressure. What may cause the pain? When should I stop medication?

muscle cramps, muscle pull, nerve irritation- etc- we call this collectively as musculoskeletal cause of pain- not at all related to heart.
