    I think you need a cardiogram/ ECG NOW! I think the symptoms of heart disease are there especially if you are on medication for high blood pressure/hypertension-get it looked at with a proper heart condition monitor!

    There is a CT scan called a cardiac scoring system CT, this is where the scanner uses an algorithm (formula) to calculate the level of calcification (blockage) in your heart blood vessels-push for this. As well as take your medication (of course)

    P.S. sorry for pushing scans all the time (J_9) but my cousin had one and the doctor said you are going Immediateley to hospital for a quadruple bypass! The doctor didn't even know hoew he managed to walk in tto the room! So the cardiac scoring system saved his life!

    Cheers!

    Hey, no prob, X, no worries. But I was concerned about the right sided pain, since there is no left sided.

    You know I respect your opinion, and leave many questions for you.

    The symptoms on the right side I agree are a little bit of a red herring, however if there is a thrombosis around the upper right brachial plexus? Then I'd imagine there would be pain there rather than the typical mid-chest pain radiating down the arm-type classic symptoms of heart issues.

    Cheers !

    Ah, so maybe a pulmonary embolism? Wouldn't that cause breathing problems also?

    Yes it would if it was in the bronchus/lung, but I was thinking it was in the vessels around the brachial plexus lateral to the upper lung, almost in the clavicular area(this is the only area I really don't know enough about).. maybe you are better off with knowledge around this area.
