What Causes Sudden Pain In The Chest And Breathlessness?
Dear Sir from last 5 days i am suffering from acute pain in left chest and some of the observations are as follows. 1. Acute pain in left chest while moving or bending from sleeping position or from rest. 2. Sharp pain when breathe, cough or sneeze. 3. Shortness of breath & wheezing 4. Pain when touches the entire chest region. 5. Sometime yellow and sometime white and black Phlegm with coughing, 6. Numb in the left arm and right arm while sleeping
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sudden pain in the chest and breathlessness. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to heart related problem like angina . It can also occur due to acid reflux . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination . Doctor may order TMT, ECG , troponin t test and complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe isosorbid nitarte , aspirin , calcium channel blocker and sedatives . Doctor may refer you to gastroenterologist in case of acid reflux OR chest specialist for chest infection. For now do not exert your body and stay calm.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon. Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
