Chest pressure and arm pain

by worried_alone, Mar 31, 2008 01:08PM

Hi,

my mum (43 yo in menopause) is experiencing (for a two or three days) random chest pressure and arm pain with slight dizziness. She has low blood pressure (since birth). She says she will go to her doctor tommorow and do an ECG. But I'm worried, could this be signs of a heart attack?

btw, chest pressure is on left side, and also pain is in left arm only.

Just to add, everything wen't fine after 10 minutes. No pain or discomfort. She drank a caffe, so her blood pressure now is 107/80, heart rhytm is 80.
