Blood pressure can be controlled by Progesterone ( a hormone) You may be having some kind of endocrine problem such as a pituitary tumor!. I had a similar problem with my pituitary tumor!. It comes and goes!. But it is treatable so definitely go see a doctor!.

heart attack is pain on the left side, panic attack is the feeling of fear, that the walls will close in on you and feels like your skin is crawling, you could get shortness of breath, i think if it were a heart attack it would have already happened, if you have panic attacks there are meds that help, ive been finallly living without them with meds for the past few years, good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
