hello, im 29 years old and im experiencing chest pain, like sticking needle then connects to my shoulder,armpit and lower rib cage. but last year sept of 2010 i had an ecg and 2 d echo and the result was normal. except my left ventricle is a little thicker due. according to the doctor this is normal for hypertensive people like me. i just want to ask what is this pain that im experiencing now? does it have connection with my toothache because i have swollen tooth and gums now.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, your current chest pain and toothache, swollen gums have no correlation. Since you are hypertensive, we should definitely rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) for your chest pain. So consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test. If all these are normal then no need to worry about this pain. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
