Does Chest, Arm And Neck Pain With Dizziness Need Medical Attention?
im 18 and have a healthy weight and diet..but 3 days ago experienced chest pains while sitting..it started out with a pain in my neck and jaw and moved in to my left arm, i then started with a strong pain in my chest which lasted 5-10 minutes, i also became sleepy and lightheaded and when trying to stand up became dizzy..the pain in my arm, neck and jaw didnt completelty disapear for nearly 4 hours...i went to the doctors that night who told me it was only a 'neck crick' and didnt think anything of it but over the weekend i contuined with mild chest pains every so often..should i go back to the doctors or leave it?
Hi, The pain you are telling can just be a cramp and i hope your doctor must have definitely checked for other causes. If the pain does not subside or increase, its better you go back to the doctor for further evaluation. Regards Dr Sameer Maheshwari
