i have pain inder my left arm that goes down the inside of the arm. This came on suddenly as I was finishing singing for a nursing home church service for an hour. Thia has happened before, but this time i took my blood pressure and it was 164/62 which is very high for me. Is this a heart attack? I am a 60 year old female.
Dear patient High blood pressure and your age points towards diagnosis of angina sectors. Its temporary deficiency of blood supply to heart muscles may be because of partial heart vessel blockage. Please visit physician nearby you and get your ECG done as soon as possible.  If repeated blood pressure measurements shows consistent high level you need to start taking antihypertensive medications.
