Can SVT Cause Dull Ache In Chest With Numbness In Arm?
I am a 42 year old female and have dull ache in the centre of my chest, occasional short stabs of pain and occasional numbness in my right arm. I saw a cardiologist last week as I have SVT of some type due to a possible accessory pathway. Is this all part of the same? Height 5 ft 7inches, weight is 10st 10lbs.

Hey,
Chest pain of stabbing type can be because of SVT. But it is not always true. As you also have a shooting pain in arm, you could be having cervical spondylitis. But you still need to have a x ray cervical spine and echo done to assess the cervical spine, valves and aorta.
You can take a pain killer with vitamin B supplementation for the symptoms.
Thanks
