Suggest Remedy For Severe Chest Pain
I am 27 years old. I am a female.. Last nite i had extreme chest pain on my left side where my breast is, It was sever sharp and stabbing. It also pulsated through my back. It came on lightly last nght and then hit me severerly fast. I ended up getting on my knees rocking back and forth doing all I could from screaming in pain. The pain was definitly a 10. It last for about 25 minutes in the highest pain, all together maybe lasted 45-50 minutes. The pain was worse when i would take a deep breath. My left hand started to hurt and get numb when i had the worst of the pain. I also had a headache. I am still in pain in my chest and back but just aching pain. I feel very weak and tired since all of this and lightheaded as if things seem slow to me. I am curious what could of caused this

welcome to hcm as per history the pain is either due to cardiac cause or cervical spine pain
as per your age and as it persisted for a period of about 1 hour it points towards cervical cause .
it will be associated with cervical or head movement and pain will be aggraavated by head bending forwards .it will be diagnosed by cervical spine xray ap and pa view ..here you will need analgesics as aceclofenic plus chlorzoxone
second possibility is cardiac disease the diagnosis has the major feature that pain will be aggravated by physical or mental stress or cold exposure ..it will be diagnosed by ecg and stress echocardiography ..here medicines and stent placement are done
but as per your age and headache and hand numbness and it is the severity on first episode i think it is cervical problem ..please visit emergency soon
