Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain That Radiates To Shoulder
37 yr old female with hx diabetes (insulin pump), gastroporesis has nausea symptoms for past 3 days getting slightly worse and now having dull chest pain that radiates to left shoulder/back. 6-7/10 scale. more noticeable with deep inspiration. What are some possible solutions to resolve pain?
Hello and welcome to HCM, Chest pain starting in the chest region and radiating to shoulder and pain increasing with deep inspiration appears to be pleural in origin. Pleural pain is usually sharp and increases on movement like inspiration. Musculoskeletal disorders also cause pain which increases on movement. A X-ray chest is the first required investigation. I suggest you to consult your physician for clinical assessment, investigation and thus management.
Thanks and take care Dr Shailja Puri
