I am 36 years old and have woke up twice this week with pains in my left shoulder which radiates down my arm - at first I thought I just slept on it wrong but the pain lasted for almost 2 to 3 hours. I checked my blood pressure with an at home kit and it was 162/107. The pain has gone and my pressure is back down to 119/67. I had been having some problems with indigestion but that seems to have cleared up after I gave up coffee and some other foods. I am somewhat overweight and have a history of high blood pressure but am not on any medication at this time. I am really anxious that something is wrong but also concerned that I'm just being overly cautious. Any advice would be appreciated.

 Dear margewil,
This does not sound like pain of cardiac origin.
i think that you might have a neck problem or a shoulder problem.
The high blood pressure is caused by the pain itself (reaction to the pain).
Thank you very much for using our website http://doctorslounge.com and i hope that this information helped.
Yasser Mokhtar, M.D.
