Hello, I am a 38 year old female that recently started experiencing some chest discomfort and SOB, I went for a stress test today but havent gotten the results yet. During the test, I became short of breath and some chest discomfort and my BP was 118/48? Is the Diastolic supposed to fall during the test?
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor... Your diastolic blood pressure was 48 ... The test doesn't lead decrease in blood pressure ... So here cardiac cause can be there like ventricular failure. . Cardiac causes should be ruled out by ....-EKG -Echo cardiograph etc... By your investigations cause will be cleared and treatment done accordingly.... Take care ... Advise : consult cardiologist for that ....
