Get Checked!: I do not know the reason for your original pulmonary embolism, but with the symptoms you are describing there are a multitude of issues possible.  The most concerning is the possibility of a recurrent pulmonary embolus.

Question 8

what would cause my resting blood pressure to increase in a matter of days from approx 133/85  to 160/112? it's been as high as 194/122. no chest pain

Accepted Answer

High Blood pressure: 194/122 blood pressure is very high, and at age of 64 this is dangerous as it may lead to blood vessels damage, brain and heart affection. please seek medical care ASAP

Question 9

hi, i'm getting sharp chest pain at random for 3 to 5 seconds only? i'm working in it company. blood pressure is normal. what would be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Not enuf info: Although it's impossible to say, my guess would be a muscular source because of it's marked brevity. Cardiac pain is neither sharp nor that brief. GI tends to be burning or gnawing with loss of appetite and/or nausea. Arthritis usually is on-going. Do certain movements or positions make it worse? Can you find trigger points by compressing the area that hurts?  That would reinforce the dx.

Question 10

my girl friend has chest pain i took her blood pressure and it good?

Accepted Answer

Anything: Could be a problem with skin, nerves, muscle, shoulder, lung, heart, or stomach. See your doctor for a more thorough history, physical exam and further evaluation. If she sleeps on her stomach she could have a neck strain that radiates pain to the chest or arm.
