Suggest treatment for upper left side chest pain when under stress
Patient: i get sharp upper left side chest pains when I get stressed, smoke, and sometimes randomly. smoked for 23 yrs a pack a day. they last about 2 to 3 seconds but sometimes sharp enough to grab my chest. im also experiences tingling in my left shoulder blade that last about a minute. My resting heart rate also sits at 110. Doctor: welcome to hcm...pain lasting for 2 or 3 sec is not cardiac disease ..it is not cad ..coronary artery disease..but as you get pain also when on stress and you are smoker ..please get ECGand chestxray and BP measurements ...please cut down on smoking and decrease weight if you are overweight...if all tests come normal please undergo stressechocardiography ...
