What Causes Chest Pain On Neck Movement?

I m having chest pains mostly when I move my neck. I do have several cervical herniations and a previous MI with stent RCA ten years ago. I took a couple of nitro pills and the pain did not change. When I put my arm over my head or get more comfortable, the chest pains subside. I can not be sure if its my neck or heart

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

To determine that your problems come from neck or heart, I advise to:
- consult with neurologist
- get X-ray of the neck
- cardiac tests : ECG, echocardiogram, stress test, holter monitoring
- Chest X-ray
