i have faint feelings in the left side of my chest and left arm. has been going on for months. comes and goes. took an x-ray last month and heart sanogram last year, both normal. blood work checked out fine but last month blood pressure was 160/97. what am i really experiencing right now?
HelloThanks for posting at Chat Doctor. Your symptoms seem non-specific. Since your chest X-ray and heart sonogram are normal, and since you have these symptoms since months, its very low probability that it is of heart or lung origin. Your BP reading was high. So you have to monitor your blood pressure regularly for three weeks and if it is persistently higher, then you must be started on BP medications. You have not mentioned your age above. If you are above 40, I would also recommend a Treadmill test which requires you to walk on a treadmill while your ECG is continuously being monitored. This will rule out cardiac origin of chest feeling you have. You should also do your vitamin D levels because low vitamin D levels make the bones weak, and you may experience chest discomfort. Your symptoms may also be related to hyperacidity, so please try antacids. Wishing you good healthRegards
