I’m 58 with high blood pressure and a grade 2 over 6 heart murmur. I figured it could wait till it became 3 or 4 over six before I checked it out.
I had heart failure in July and needed emergent surgery to replace a valve and three bypasses. Moral of my story is get it checked and act earlier rather than later. I am improving some since the surgery.
Since your symptoms are pain in your legs and moving up into your arms it could also be aortic disease (the biggest blood vessel in your body) or vascular disease as opposed to heart disease though, it could be both. High blood pressure is bad for all of these. Quit smoking, take your meds, and get ahead of it before it gets worse. When you start to feel better don’t back off from the meds, diet or non smoking. You will want to but don’t.
He said leg weakness not pain.
