I'm feeling really concerned because I've been having back, shoulder, and neck pain that even radiates to my chest for about a year now. My blood pressure was usually normal, but after doing some heavy stretching exercises yesterday, I suddenly got pain all over my body and my BP went up to 13493. I've seen an orthopedic doctor before who mentioned it might be myofascial pain. Should I be worried about the increase in my BP, or is this typical when you're in pain?
It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you are experiencing new symptoms like body aches. A reading of 13493 is slightly elevated and may be related to the recent increase in physical activity. However, it is recommended to keep an eye on your blood pressure and consult a doctor if it remains consistently high. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for your body aches.
