What Could Be The Treatment Reason As Well As Treatment For Chest Pain On Left Side With Little Tinges On Left Arm?
I am 40 years old and on blood pressure medicine. The left part of my chest hurts sometimes like a mild nuisance pain. My left arm tingles a little. My dad had some nitro tablets and I tried one and the pain and the tingling diminished some but returned the next day. What types of tests can be done to fight out and possibly correct the problem. I also do not have insurance. Thank you

Hi,
From history and age any cardiac problem should be ruled out.
Go for EKG,
S. cholesterol and lipid profile.
Regular blood pressure check up.
If require go for stress test.
After all reports your physician will go for treatment accordingly.
Ok and take care.
