What Causes Pain In Chest While Sneezing When Diagnosed With High BP?

I have a very hurtful pain in my chest (in heart area) when I sneeze. No cold or allergy, no heavy lifting no pain in my arms. within the last week I am slightly noticing some discomfort in that same heart region while resting. I m in pretty good health (no medications) other than I guess I have arthitus pretty bad in all my joints. I don t take vitamins(they plug me up big time), I am a moderate drinker. 61 years old. I have no insurance, have had a physical for work 1 year ago. Have borderline hi blood pressure. ^ ft, 230lbs. My arms always ache es[pecially shoulders even when sleeping. I do not have any idea of family history other than my Gma died @ 55 from heart attack although very small and thin.

Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Pian in heart area on sneezing and on lying down position is probably due to acute pericarditis. You have got multiple joint pains (arthritis ).The most frequent site of cardiac involvement in RA (Rheumatoid arthritis)is the pericardium.Go for ECG and then 2-D echocardiogram.
