What Causes Unbearable Pain In The Back And Shortness Of Breath?
Went to ER with severe sharp unbearable pain in back -shortness of breath-blood pressure was 177/135-lung X-ray/ctscan good - pain in back now gone after two days on prednisone and antibiotic- but blood pressure only down to 155/100 (i m normally 112/70) why still high with pain gone? Still have headache too.
Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem.
Although the major pain has gone but still headache is there , you must be anxious from inside too plus you are taking steroids which too have an effect of increasing blood pressure, as your symptoms have eased up your blood pressure has gone down too i believe with time it will get further down. You do not have to panic. just reduce your salt intake for now, stay relaxed as your pain , anxiety and steroid therapy ends, i am expecting your blood pressure to get back to normal as before.
I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you. Regards.
Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
