What Causes Chest And Shoulder Pain With Numbness And Breathing Difficulties?
Really intense pain across chest and in shoulders . numb feeling and difficulty to breathing. Usually last about 5 to 15 minutes. All good after that. It happens whenever drinking girly drinks. Like mikes lemonade or palm bay or Smirnoff ice. So drinks with alcohol and sugar. It happens with rum and coke too. And this morning it happened with a coke ..no alcohol. Just a coke. Its pretty random as it don t do it everytime I drink one of those. It usually happens after drinking close to 200ml. The best way to describe the sensation would be like if poison was running into my veines from my heart and going across my pecks and into the shoulders. The pain can be so intense that it feels heavy and makes me collapse on my knee to the point I cannot move until it fades away. I m 24 years old male smoker 6 feet 170 pounds in overall pretty good shape. Let me know if you ever heard of this. Thank you

thanks for asking this question
I completely understand your problem
the most common cause o this type o pain in your age group and with habits of smoking and drinking alcohol is peptic ulcer disease which can cause chest pain as the nerve which supplies this area is vagus. you can use proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole for couple of days .and consult a physician if you are much worried about your heart ,he can do a ecg and guide you.
for now quit smoking and drinking alcohol and too much spicy and coffee ,this will help you a lot.
