I'm really concerned about some pain I've been experiencing. It started about four months ago with chest pain and pain in my left arm. I went to a doctor who said it might be gastric issues, but I was worried so I saw a cardiologist. They did a chest X-ray, a TMT, and an echo 2D, and everything came back negative. My relative, who's a doctor, suggested it might be muscle pain or cervical spondylosis, but I still have this persistent pain in my left arm along with a burning sensation. I've read about anxiety causing these kinds of symptoms, but the pain is also in my neck, jaw, left arm, shoulder, and chest. I'm really hoping for some clarification on what might be going on. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do next?

Can someone actually survive a blood pressure reading of 250 over 150 for a couple of hours? And what's the highest blood pressure our blood vessels can handle before it becomes too dangerous?
A blood pressure of 250150 is extremely high and can be life-threatening. Sustained high blood pressure can lead to serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure. It is important to seek immediate medical attention if you or someone else is experiencing such high blood pressure. The maximum blood pressure that blood vessels can typically withstand is around 220120. Beyond this range, the blood vessels are at risk of damage and the organs may not receive adequate blood supply. It is crucial to keep blood pressure within normal limits to maintain good health and prevent complications.

I'm a bit concerned about my dad's blood pressure readings. He's 61 and has high blood pressure, so he's been on medication. Recently, during a check-up, his readings were 90 and 126. But here's the thing thats puzzling me his blood pressure was higher in his right arm than his left by about 10 points. I'm really curious about what could cause this difference. Is it something we should be worried about?
This difference in blood pressure between arms is known as inter-arm blood pressure difference. It can be caused by various factors such as differences in blood vessel stiffness, blockages, or narrowing in the arteries of one arm compared to the other. It can also be due to conditions like atherosclerosis or peripheral artery disease. To address this issue, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In terms of medication, he can continue taking his high blood pressure medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help control his blood pressure levels.
