50 year old caucasian woman. Height 5 4 , weight 200. Prescription of Synthroid, Coversyl and hydrochlorothiazide. Have been moving furniture. Have had spine injury in the C4-C6 and L2-4. Left arm achy, numbness and tingling but no pain in chest, albeit elevated (not racing) heart rate. Lay down or go to walk in clinic?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion you should definitely go to clinic and get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause first. The points favoring cardiac disease are1. Post menopause age. Protective effect of estrogen has been lost at this age.2. You are already on hypertension medicines. 3. Your symptoms like left arm pain, dizziness, elevated heart rate and chest tight Less favors cardiac cause. So get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac cause.
