Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain Around My Heart And Back With Mild Numbness In Arm?
I have a chest pain around the heart area and to the left side though to my back feeling like a slight pressure which is worse when I breath deeply and then feels like a stabbing pain. My left arm has a very slight felling of numbness and certainly feels different to my right arm.
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
