question: Hi I am a 48 year old female. I have been experience shortness of breath for last 2 days. Last night I was waking from shortness of breath. Today have been short of breath all day.  I went to the doc straight after work. My blood pressure was 163/91. I usually have around 145/83. I am not tight in the chest, but feel slight numb on my left calf...as if I am wearing a tight sock there.
