Have Had Pain And Palpitation In Left Rib. High Blood Pressure. What Are The Findings And Required Treatment?

I have had pain and palpitation in left rib since feb. 3 then while binding over I broke two ribs on march 16. I was admitted to hospital after trip to ER. They ran EKG, ct scan, blood work, lung test, bone density, diabetic test. All came back negative. Only medical problem is high blood pressure. At the ER visit it was 180/160 they said that was normal with pain of broken ribs which they saw during the ct chest scan.

Hello.Although high blood pressure figures then may be related to broken ribs
would be required, with a preventive, perform high blood pressure screening.
To do this (if you have a validated device) You can control your blood pressure in your home 4 times in several days separated.After,with the figures obtained,
you must go to your doctor.
I wish you good health
