What Causes Dull Left-sided Pain In Jaw And Breathlessness?

I have been experimenting a dull ache on my left side by my jaw. It is moving around a little. Also, I feel short of breath. I have no idea if my blood pressure is high or not. I am on blood pressure medicine. I am 56 and a little overweight. Should I be concerned?

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

As per your complain jaw pain along with breathlessness can be a sign of cardiovascular diseases like Angina and Stroke as many a times jaw pain can be misdiagnosed with some tooth or nerve related disorder while pain in jaw can be due to radiating pain from chest due t cardiac problem and needs serious medical attention..
As you already have blood pressure issues and you are n medication you should immediately consult a Cardiologist and get evaluated and the cardiologist can advise you to get an ECG [ELECTROCARDIOGRAM] done along with some blood investigations to rule out the exact cause of the pain and treat you accordingly..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
