Have Pinched Nerve. Feeling Pain On Upper Chest. EKG And A Stress Test Done. Should I Go For Neurologist Advice?

My PCP told me that I have a pinched nerve. Now, I ve been feeling this pin prick pain on the upper left part of my chest . It will come and go. I had an EKG and a stress test last March. Everything came back normal. My PCP requested to see a neurologist but the insurance denied it. What could this be? What should I do?

Dear friend, if heart work-up is normal, your description fits neuralgic pain, and as advised it is better to see a neurologist.

simple pain killers do not solve the problem.
