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.
What Causes Pain In The Shoulder, Palpitations And Dizziness?
fifty year old woman/slightly overweight...Have been experiencing odd symptoms past month...pain in left shoulder, arm,chest,jaw; palpitations; dizziness; ... have mitral valve prolapse. Stress and echo showed mild abnormalities. No history of hypertension but when went to cardio for follow up BP was 170/110 so was placed on hypertensive med. for past 2 weeks with follow up in 1 month. BP has consistently been low 100/60 s since starting meds. Do I need to be alarmed with this reading and call cardiologist regarding these low BP readings...have been feeling very lethargic and abnormally fatigued.
Your BP was definitely in higher side. However, presently it's quite low. I feel you need to consult a cardiologist as you are having palpitations also with jaw pain, and these are not features of hypertension.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Vihang Shah
