Chest pressure and arm pain
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?

I would take your mum to the ER to get checked out. Better to be safe then sorry. Good luck to the 2 of the you.
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.
