Cramping Sensation In Chest, Moving To Upper Back, Breathlessness, Dizziness. Heart Condition?
The other day I started feeling a cramping sensation in my chest that moved to my upper back . I was also experiencing shortness of breath and light headedness. It all went away until the next day( which was yesterday) I went to the E.R. And everything came back normal but was told to see a cardiologist ... What could this be?

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
With no clues to the age, gender, personal or family history, associated morbidity - it is more of guess, than scientific prediction.
The pain is not typical of heart - pain from the heart is oppressing, in central chest (and left), worse on effort, may radiate to shoulders and arms, associated with sweating and so on.
Yet, the role of heart in any chest pain gets priority in evaluation...
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
