Left Side Atrophy Due To Car Accident, Pin Prick Pain On Chest. What Do You Think?
Doc, thanks for taking my question. I am 74 years of age with good sports background except for car accident with the result my left side is in atrophy . This afternoon while taking a nap,I had pin prick pain on my right side of the chest . It was a very second and came back a second time for a second. Being in the physical culture, I felt it could be nerve. What do you think?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, looking to your age the atrophic changes could be due to age and not because of the accident that you had, for the chest pain, it is better to get done the EKG test, this is just for safe side although the result would come unremarkable, hope this information helps you, take care and have a nice day.
