Does Mild Chest Pain With Elevated BP Need Medical Attention?
85 year old male low blood pressure 83 over something not sure. Very very mild pain in chest pain. Pain went away , blood pressure went up some. Was able to carry on conversation. He is just not sure if he should go to hospital. Wants to wait and see if pb goes up.

If the Blood pressure is 83 over something means systolic BP is 83. Is that what you really mean? Because that is a very low systolic blood pressure. Anyway my advice is that since the person is 85 years old, check into a hospital and do an EKG just to rule out any small heart attacks. Myocardial Infarction is always a possibility in old age. It could also be other heart problems or something related to the lungs. Take care and have a good day.
