CHEST PAINS

Posted By SHARON on December 14, 1998 at 16:54:54:







I am currently taking medicines for high blood pressure.  I am taking atenolol and prinzide daily.  I used to have palpitations and atenolol was prescribed.  My blood pressure was high, so my doctor also prescribed prinzide.  I am 45 years old and am about 20 lbs. overweight.  I will start exercising again after the holidays.  I went in for my yearly gynocological exam a couple of weeks ago.  I also had a mammogram done about a little over a week ago.  Everything is fine, only the day after the mammogram, I started having chest pain in the upper right part of my chest above the breast.  The pain lasted seven days, but this morning the pain went away.  I was thinking maybe I pulled a muscle during the exam, however, the pain started up again today this afternoon at work when I became stressed out.  Should I make an appt. to see my doctor or wait until after the holidays to see if it still happens?
Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you, Sharon
