My age is 66 yrs. I am diabetic patient for the last 25+ years andy sugar level though fasting remain normal but pp remain around 200 and sometime 200 plus now-a-days. During the last four years myself diagnosed high pressure and taking bp medicine regularly. During the last couple of months I feel chest pain on right side during walking, heavy breath and blur on right eye. If I stop walking for 2-3 minutes the problem vanish and again problem starts if I restart walking. I did ECG, echo, color Doppler as advised by doctor and prescribed bp medicines twice a day. On asking Dr. said there is no serious problem but due to high pressure this problem persists. Kindly suggest if I go for any further investigation of chest and medication.
