[|Human|] Hello Dr! My wife is hypertensive and takes Stamlo Beta and Olmat 20 mg twice daily. When she worries, she gets this pricking sensations in the heart region and it lasts a few minutes every time. Yesterday the pain seemed to increase every time this pricking starts and subsided after 3 hours. She also complains of blurred vision sometimes but that subsides too. We did an ECG 2 days ago and it was NORMAL. Kindly advise...
[|AI|]  HelloWelcome to Chat Doctor. I have gone through your description. She has got hypertension for which she is on two medications. Symptoms like pricking sensation in the chest are not typical of heart related origin. But in addition to the pricking sensation, if there is chest pain or chest discomfort, which is continuous (not on and off) for at least more than 20 mins, then it may point towards something which is of cardiac origin. In your description you have mentioned only once about pain lasting for more than 20 mins. So I don't think there is much to worry about. Still if you want to be safe and clear, I advise you to do an ECG and undergo a stress test. This will help you predict whether she has some blocks in the heart. Wishing you good health Regards.
