Is Blood Pressure Of 155/100 A Cause For Concern?
Question: 50 year old 190lbs 5ft11in . I have one cold hand and one warm one, and Blood pressure of 155/100. This all happened after a recent road accident. My shoulder/AC joint was damaged on the cold hand side.
Brief Answer:
Need to do tests
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
Your symptoms may indicate circulation problems at level of brachial artery. This may have been caused by accident or by atherosclerosis. You should measure blood pressure on both sides and I suggest to do ct angiography of affected arm to verify possible vessel obstruction. If confirmed,it can be surgically corrected. Wish you good health. Regards
