Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Could The Tightness In Chest Be Due To High BP And Cholesterol Medications?
Lately I have been experiencing a tightening around my chest if I have a alcholic drink. I do not drink much or very often but this has started this fall. I did start some new meds for high blood pressure and chloresteral this fall. Could there be a relationship there?
HI Thank for asking to HCM I can understand your problem if you do have history of high blood pressure and experiencing tightness in the chest then in my opinion it would be better to go for cardiac evaluation and that's includes EKG, stress test, ECHO, hope this information helps you take care and have good day.
