Experiencing heavy chest pain in arm & back of shoulder
Patient: Hi there. I'm 19 weeks along and experiencing heavy chest pains down my arm and back of shoulder blade. It's worse when I lay down. I have had a history of these pains for 5 or so years. Doctors at er say all is ok. But the I e this morning feels a lot heavier and painfull enough to make me sweat. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases in your case. Left sided heavy chest pain with arm heaviness and sweating are commonly seen in heart diseases. So get done ecg and 2d echo. If both of these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated. Don't worry, you will be alright. But better to first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
