What causes chest pain when suffering from low BP?
Patient: I am 25 year old female smoker. I have a low blood pressure (i've been told) but suddenly this morning i started experiencing a sharp pain in my chest. I guess it was behind my breasts, but i felt and ache and it's not gone away (been over an hour). What is this?? Doctor: Hias you are a smoker the pain you are experiencing most like whats medically termed as angina,Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused when your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. It may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. The discomfort also can occur in your shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.It is a symptom of an underlying heart problem, usually coronary heart disease (CHD)i would suggest youEKG (Electrocardiogram)Stress Testing2D echoBlood Testsall these test will rule out the blood supply to the heartChest X-Rays
