hi every so often,maybe one or twice a week,I get all the symptoms of having a ha again .My symptoms are a lot of dizziness,chest pain and shoulder pain, sometimes left arm pain,and sometimes shortness of breath.When this happens I check my blood pressure several times,and it goes drastically up and down ,it seems to be what’s causing the symptoms, I’m very calm when it happens and my heart rate stays stable in the 50s .Been to doctors and ea millions of times to no avail.could anyone shine a light on please many thanks in advance

Hello :-)

I am no expert why this is happening

I do know checking your blood pressure that the more times we do it that it goes up and down all day even within minutes so not sure if that is anything relating to how you feel

The only thing I can say is keep pushing the Doctors point out you want it putting on your notes how much you keep telling them how you are feeling and they say everything is alright and also ask for a referral if they refuse then again tell them you would like to see it added to your medical records that you asked for a referral and they refused

Sometimes saying this politely makes them do something I hope they will listen to you :-) x
