Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I can feel my pulse strongly near my left breast, especially when I lie on my left side. I was recently told I have stiffing of my arteries. When I lift weights the pulse in the breast area is very noticeable but when I run on the treadmill I do not notice it until several hours after running. I take no meds except Zantac. I have a high systolic pressure but jogging helps keep it in check. My BP went up to 156/105 about a month ago felt burning/tingling in left foreman and I felt very tired and badly for a week afterwards. I’ve had a very stressful 3 months due to my wife being hospitalized for an abscess she from a day procedure. She is home and doing better. I have had a couple of sudden severe headaches. I do not have chest pain.
