I recently discovered I have high blood
pressure (155/8
and high
cholesterol (255). I am a 29 year old male
in good health (6' 165 lbs) who runs 5
times a week 4-5 miles. I went into the
doctor for chest spasms I was
experiencing. That is when the BP check
and blood work discovered my elevated
levels. My family has a history of high BP
and Cholesterol.
I have since been to the doctor 2 more
times for chest spasms and neck pain. My
doctor has ruled out angina (coronary
spasms) due to my age and gender. My
"spasms" are in my left chest on or just
below my rib cage. They do not hurt but
are just uncomfortable and usually come on
at night lasting anywhere from 1 hour to
through the night. They feel almost like
indigestion. My heart rate is low due to
my running and my triglicerides and
thyroid were normal.
Any other possible diagnosis for my chest
spasms? Any one else with similar
experiences? Is there a chance I could
have issues with my kidneys and thats what
is causing the high Cholesterol at such a
young age?
Thanks
