Question: i have been diagnosed With bronkitis 3 days ago, however i am now experiencing pain in my armpit and just below on the left side, last night my arm and shoulder became weak, i also am experiencing pain in both shoulders,
Brief Answer:
Screen for heart disease
Detailed Answer:
hi and thanks for the query
the new symptoms you describe are not characteristic of bronchitis. it is urgent to check for other causes of such symptoms.
your heart needs to be urgently checked for this could be a heart problem. have you ever had any cardiovascular disease before? I suggest an urgent ultrasound and ekectrocardiogaph (ECG).
pain from heart disease is over felt as pain in the armpit or left shoulder as you describe.
in case the heart is clear it is reassuring. but it needs testing first.
thanks and kind regards as I wish you the best of health.

hi,, thanks, i do not think it is my heart, i do regular and strenouas excercise 3 times weakly, my blood pressure is very good. i do however get chest pains sometimes, i suffer from gerd,, recently i have had alot of gas and it causes pain all over my stomach.
the thing worrying me now is pain behind the breast bone, it seems to og away after i have had a good burp, my appetite is fine and my weight very stable at 80 kg,s i am 183 cm tall.
could the pain in chest be caused by gas,? or gerd,? what should i ask my doctor to examine,?

Brief Answer:
Evaluation of GERD and peptic ulcer disease. FIBROSCOPY AND HELICOBACTER IN
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for the concise update. I am happy your cardiovascular parameters are within normal limits lately . Heart issues will be unlikely under these circumstances to explain this pain.
I am now in more for GERD. Have done a fibroscopy before so the gravity of lesions be ascertained? Have you tested for Helicobacter pylori infection before? How long have ever been put on proton pump inhibitor medications to control GERD symptoms?
I suggest GERD and peptic ulcer disease be properly checked and managed during your next medical visit.
Thanks and king regards
