What Causes Pain In Right Shoulder And Hand?

Hi, I have diabetes, high blood pressure, aortic stent and 2 previous strokes. Take insulin & Losartan HCTZ & Plavix. I was out of town and at 2:00am this past Monday night/Tuesday morning had tight chest, right shoulder & right hand pain, lasting bout half an hour, sister says my speech was little more slurred than usual - no other symtons & back to normal self, thinking I possibly had a TIA. Going to Dr. on Tuesday. Thoughts of anything else it might be?

Hello,
I have studied your case. A possibility of transient ishchemic attack is always there. Since you already had strokes so it can not be rule out. I would recommend you to get your coagulation profile checkup and also your blood pressure. Your doctor may asked you to get MRI of the brain and compare it from previous one to see if there is any new change.
I hope this answer will be useful for you. let me know if there is any other followup questions. thanks for using healthcare magic
