Question: I have a headache on my left side for 8 days. Also have a pain in upper chest above breast. I’m 52. Female not menopausal yet.
Brief Answer:
Hypertension and premenopause to consider.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.
I have read your query and here is my advice.
One common cause of such symptoms is increased blood pressure ( hypertension ).
So, first thing to do is to monitor your blood pressure for a couple of days, 3-4 times a day.
If blood pressure will result stable, premenopause may be another possible condition.
If you had fever these days, a viral infection also may be the culprit.
Discuss with your Doctor for these issues.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
