is it possible to have good blood pressure and still have heart disease

is it possible to have good blood pressure and still have heart disease?
I have pain in my left breast. But i'm not sure if it is in my chest that i am feeling the pain, or in my breast. I feel some pressure in my back on the left shoulder blade. my blood pressure is 114/79, and my pulse is 56. this low grade pressure/pain has been going on for two weeks now. anybody have any idea what could be wrong without telling me to go to the emergency room? I do have more fatigue as well.

I do not think it is a heart problem, might be chest infection, or inflammation, suggest you see a Doc.

The ER's probably not necessary if you've had it for two weeks now, but I'd definitely make an appointment with my GP sometime soon. It does sound like your heart because of the fatigue and pressure, but this might be useful information depending upon your other symptoms: chest pain that intensifies with breathing is a lung problem. If it remains the same regardless of how you're breathing I'm sorry to say it probably is your heart. Heart problems can also be responsible for an unnatural upswing of depression or anxiety. Either of those affecting you? Good luck.

It is possible, but probably not the first thing to suspect based on your symptoms. Do you have any shortness of breath? Heartburn? If this has been going on for 2 weeks with no change the ER is probably not necessary, but I would make an appointment with my primary doctor for as soon as possible.

If you have pain on your chest that radiates to the left shoulder I think you need to see a doctor as soon as possible. You may not know if you have had a silent heart attack, angina or whatever that may be. It can also be muscular but I am just concern if that pain is radiating to the left shoulder. We can't just assume what we have unless we have been seen by a medical professional and proper tests have been done. I also concern about your pulse rate. That seems low and I constitute that as bradycardia. I am just wondering if you are an athlete or u jog daily. Your blood pressure looks ok to me unless you have had a history of high blood pressure and if you feel dizzy with this blood pressure reading
