What Is Causing The Discomfort In Chest Along With Pain?
I am having discomfort in my chest along with some pain. This has been happening over the past 5 days with my blood pressure reaching the highest 146/129 yesterday. I listen to my heart with a stethoscope and it seems to be stopping. I am on diovan 320, and atenolol. I have started taking 81mg aspirin. Should I see a cardiologist ASAP or is this just palpitations??
