Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Recurring Sharp Pain In Shoulder And Upper Chest?
62 year old female. Social smoker on occasion. Blood pressure 110/70. Mild twinges or squeezing near left shoulder and downward toward left breast. This has been happening sporadically for a few days. No shortness of breath. Taking low dose aspirin daily. Should I be concerned?
I think you should check your heart rate because these symptoms may be related also to anxiety. Taking count that you are chronic smoker you may need to do a spyrometry to check also lungs function.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka
