Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...

My husband 31 yrs old is experiencing uneasiness, discomfort and his BP is high 140 - 150. 2 days ago, he had shooting pain in his chest area and pain in the left arm, i took him to a doc, the ecg was normal and his enzyme test is normal as well.He is still having uneasiness and discomfort and bp is still high. He refuses to take tablets as he feels he is too young to start taking tablets.Kindly advise if this discomfort continues, is it something to be worried abt or is it just some digestion problem and it will be alrite in time

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hi, Thanks for the query. According to the history, your husband seems to be hypertensive and is having chest pain. Even though the ECG was normal, I would suggest getting an Echocardiography done. The enzyme test sometimes comes normal if done too early in a heart disease.
As far as age is concerned, yes he is young but it is quite common these days to see young hypertensives to have heart disease. I would suggest a repeat visit to your cardiologist, get an Echocardiography done and take medications as advised by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
