blood pressure and chest pain

blood pressure and chest pain

My bp spiked up to over 200/90+ yesterday and I had light chest pains. Went to emergent care. 3 EKG's and blood work all normal . Dr gave me .1 mg clonidine which brought it down and prescribed binicar 20 mg. Today bp spiked to 187/99. Clonidine brought it down again. Chest pains are dull and continue, but not unbearable...also going up my neck. I'm worried but my Dr says it takes 2-3 weeks to get bp down and isn't as freaked as I am. What to do?

Since you have slight chest pain with the high BP spikes I'm surprised he didn't send you to a Cardiologist but very high BP can also cause chest pain.  A friend of mine had very high BP and severe chest pain, everybody thought she had a heart attack but the Cardiologist described it as "hypertensive induced angina".  She had to undergo an angiogram which came out fine, no blockages at all.
