Hi my husband is a 58 year old type 2 diabetic. He is not feeling well and complaining of pains in his ribs and back (no injuries to explain this) so I checked his blood pressure. It is 110/64 but his pulse rate is 117. I m concerned. He has had some dizziness today also. I think he should go to hospital.
Hello, I have studied your case. If this pain is on the left side than it can be due to heart problem. He should immediately go to Er and get ECG. If there is any abnormality than he should take tablet to take care of that. If it is on right side than there is not so much to be worried. He still needs an x-ray though.  Sometimes ECG is normal, and he may need stress 2 D echo. I hope this answer will be useful for him. Let me know if there is any other followup questions. Thanks
