What Does Pain In The Left Shoulder Blade Indicate?
hi there. i have been having pain in my left shoulder blade, feels like a pinched nerve and now in my neck. I am on antonol for high blood pressure and fast heart beat. i was taking 50 mg and the dr reduced it to 25 last week because my heart rate was low and blood pressure. now, and maybe just because I am nervous my heart rate is 81 and blood pressure 175/95 home alone with my grandson and not sure what to do

Hello,
Your pulse is normal and your blood pressure is high, but not high enough to require that you be seen right away unless you are having symptoms like severe headache or chest pain. In fact, the shoulder pain could be causing your elevated blood pressure.
Talk to your doctor about sending you to a physical therapist to help with the shoulder blade pain and also about re-evaluating your blood pressure medicine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Kathy Robinson
