I am 24 years old I have had high blood pressure since I was 18 years both parents have it also. For the last three months I have been having chest pain and they have not been able to get the pressure down. I have been hospitalized three times one time being in the ICU. The only test they have done are two different stress test and some EKGs. They have told me that the reason that I have chest pain is because when my blood pressure gets to high the artiries contract causeing pain. I am now taking 9 med which are Telmisartan 80mg, Isosrbide Mononit 60mg, Esomeprazole 40mg, Lisinopril/ HCT 20/12.5mg, Amlodipine10mg, Methyldopa 250mg, Furosemide 40mg, Simvastatn/Ezetimib 20/10mg,Colnidine 0.2mg, and I also take QuickNitro. With all these meds you would think my pressure would below but it is not. My PCP has me come and see him every two weeks while the Cardiac doctors tells me that it is going to take time to find out whats wrong. I also have some leakey valves there not the cause i hope.
probably not, possible symptoms of high blood pressure vary from person to person. These symptoms could also be symptoms of other health problems. Most doctors say that if you're having symptoms such as:
Headaches
Heart palpitations
A tough time catching your breath after exertion
Fatigue
A flushed face
Blurry vision
Nosebleeds
A strong need to urinate often (especially during the night)
Tinnitus (a ringing or buzzing in the ears)
Vertigo (feelings that you or the world is spinning dizzily)
with the above symptoms they say to get checked for HTN
with a low grade fever, it's usually around 101 degrees fahrenheit and It is a non-specific finding, but occurs in many diseases, ranging from infectious (viral infections or infective endocarditis) to autoimmune to malignant causes.
A persistent low grade fever can be a sign of many sicknesses.
you should definitely get a second opinion and get some blood work done. maybe the cause of your HTN is due to a virus. normally a virus makes itself and breaks itself and lasts around 10-14 days, some viruses can last months depending on your immune system. you need to get at LEAST a CBC with differential done among other new tests and blood work. good luck.
endocarditis is a possiblity and i would suggest you look into that, i am not a doctor but upon research found this could possibly be a concern.

Low grade fever is 'below' a normal temputure of 98.7 – a 99.9 is a low fever and it's probably from your stress.
