I am 55 year old female, 5ft 9, 260lbs in relatively good health-had been bike riding 18miles/day until May when 90 year old father got ill and I took care of him. When he was sick I had 2 bouts of chest pain -on the 2nd one we called paramedic- my BP was like 200/100 and they took me to ER then to hospital overnight- had all cardiac enzymes checked and nuclear stress , ekg , etc. All were normal and no sign of heart attack-this was end of June. Had had nothing since until last night when lying watching TV, extreme pain all around chest/upper abdomen, sharp pains changed my breathing- bp was elevated to like 165/90- last about 5 minutes and then all subsided and was fine- same thing today- just sitting up, had been busy all day cooking and then same thing, not as severe- bp again elevated and then back to normal as soon as pain subsided. Also feels like upper abdominal area gets hard/rigid during this. History of high blood pressure, meds 20mg lisinipril, 10mg Crestor- have just had bunch of blood work done, but don t see doctor until next week
