Hello,

Your symptoms are suggestive of musculo-skeletal pain. I would exclude any possible cardiac disorders.

Coming to this point, I would recommend performing a chest X-ray study, a cervical spine X-ray study (for chronic degenerations) and inflammation tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
