I need a consult.
20 y old male suffers from palpitations for the past 4 years related to social anxiety and stress of studying.
Now he described that he feels the pulsation in his LT. upper limb and LT. side of his head
On examination his radial pulse felt abit stronger on Lt. Side than on Rt. side
Branches of superficial temporal art. On Lt. side are more prominant than on Rt. side
BP: 120/80 on both arms
HR: 85 bpm
Not hypertensive

Any thing serious suspect?
Should I measure the bp again later and do an ecg?
