High BP with pain in left hand
I was diagnosed with High BP (Going up to 183/120) by family physician in October last year, had an ECG + Lipid + Thyroid + KFT + LFT at that time, everything was okay in reports. Dr. gave me Vitabend T and Alprex 0.25, which I took for about 7-8 days. I reduced salt , oil etc. in my food and took readings for almost a month bp never went above 120/90 mark so I stopped medicines.
Now last week I had same condition bp went to 163/110 with heart rate 124 BPM, I took Vitabend T and bp went normal again (avg. 115/80).
Now I am having pain in left hand with average heartbeat 100 BPM.
Should I go to Cardiologist? Am I having heart trouble? There are no other symptoms except pain in left hand sometimes collar bone. No fatigue or breathing issues.

Get ECG ECHO TMT done to rule out cardiac cause of the pain. And do not stop BP medicines. Your BP is normal because you are in medicines. Once you stop it it will go up. High BP can not be permanently cured it has to be controlled with medicines
