What Causes Pain In The Chest Radiating To The Shoulder?
Question: Lately I have been having some pain radiating from chest to shoulder on my left side. Concerned because I have a family history of heart issues.
Brief Answer:
You should schedule a cardiologist appointment.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Although your pain isn't necessarily related to cardiac issues, you should be scheduled for a cardiologist appointment.
Since you have a positive familiar history for cardiac problems, you should do a complete cardiac evaluation.
If you were my patient I would recommend to do the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptom:
- Blood work
- Ecg
- Cardiac echo
- Stress test
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
