I keep getting sharp pains in my chest, just under my sternum. I took my blood pressure. I usually run about 96/58. It was 138/103 on the right side of my body, and 103/90 on the left. I layed down for awhile and when I took it it was again, 134/98 on the right, and 104/60 on the left. Could I be having problems with my heart?

Hi Ranigirl,
I encourage you to contact your physician to discuss your symptoms and blood pressure readings to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
All the best,
