i myself have high blood pressure and have done for the past 4yrs...i would certainly if your mum has'nt already be getting her heart tested.. I was getting palpitations to and pain in my left arm and i was sent for all sorts of heart tests..As high blood pressure over many years can cause heart damage and your heart to enlarge ..depending on how well it is controlled...this may certainly not be your mums problem..i mean i am no doctor...but it is best to get her checked out
