Swelling And Pain In Left Arm And Hand Due To Forgetting Intake Of Medication For High BP. Any Solution?
Left arm hurts and swells when blood pressure gets high. Forgot a dose, pressure got really high, took dose late last night, arm and hand still hurt early in the morning. Took morning dose, now blood pressure is low. But left arm and hand still hurts and is swollen.

Pain in left arm and hand can be symptoms of serious heart conditions , as you have high bp which is a risk factor for heart problems , I suggest you to get ECG and stress test to rule out same. Missing BP tablet do not cause pain or swelling in arm or hand. Regards
