Hey all, high BP is not something to "leave". Get it checked out. The answer may be as simple as 1/2 and aspirin a day ("thins" the blood to make it flow thru the body better and pass any occlusions).
Don't want to scare you but high BP can only lead to really bad things, angina, cardic arrest, stroke etc. And when you are down this neck of the woods, these things reoccur!!
Any form of chest pain which includes a heavy feeling, a "weight" on your chest, coupled with shortness of breath..STOP what you are doing...even driving and seek assistance.
"Traumatic" chest pain (such as brused ribs, lung damage etc) will give you a sharp pain, with further increase on inspiration.
"Cardic" chest pain will NOT increase with inspiration and will be a dull type pain. This is the one to seek urgent medical help for especially.
These are only a rough guide so you can ask yourself now if this is what you have experienced.
Play it safe fella's..........otherwise leave your 18" chipper to me in your will!!!
