BP remaining higher than normal
I am 34 years old male. 5-6 days back I experienced sudden chest pain after dinner which lasted for 2 hours. Next day my ECG was normal. But my BP was 140/100. Since that day my BP is remaining high. It is fluctuating between 130/85 and 130/90. I got ECG and chest Xray done again. And the reports are normal. But I experience needle like pain in chest left side. And the BP as I told is on the higher side. Please advise what to do to get my BP normal? And is that pain due to high BP or do I need further investigation?

Hello,
The pain and BP are not related directly. Sharp pain can transients cause high BP but high BP won't cause chest pain. Secondly you need further tests for chest pain like ECG, ECHO AND TMT to rule out heart related pain. Thirdly, for your higher BP, you need to monitor daily for next few days or get an ABPM done. If majority readings are above 135/85 on ABPM then you will need medicines at least for sometime. Till then start regular exercise, weight control, avoiding excess salt, following DASH diet for BP.
Take care
