What is the cause of chest pain?
Patient: On several occassions the last few years I have had a stinging pain run across the top of my chest and down both arms. I'm 42 yrs old, do not smoke, and drink lightly. Weight 165, height 5' 9". Low exercise. Eating habits have pluses and minuses. What is this feeling? It really hurts for a few seconds then it's gone. Doctor: thanks for asking your question I completely understand your question it seems like a nerve associated pain but if it is a chest pain u should rule out cardiac causes consult a pulmonologist , he can have an exg done and rule out angina or other causes of chest painthanks/ regards feel free to ask more questions may god bless you with good health
