Q: I am having pain in my chest area along with my blood pressure going up after I walk. I have aplasta amenia and am not sure if anything can be done if I do have a blockage. My platelets run 55000

My pressure usually runs 140-150 and 85 on the bottom. When my chest starts hurting my pressure is approx 190/95. If I sit and rest, my chest quits hurting. My biggest concern is my aplasta amenia and just knowing if anything can be done. I am 74 years old.

Hi Ken,

 

I'm not sure medically what your options are. I do recommend consulting with your physician.

 

You may want to discuss and complete lab workup to determine if you have any nutrient deficiencies that may be contributing to the chest pain/angina, such as a coenzyme q10 deficiency. Also, consider implementing diet changes to promote a lower blood pressure, such as increased fruits/vegetables along the lines of the DASH diet.

 

All the best,
