What Causes Chest Pain?
Chest pains
I have been having sharp stabbing pains in the left side of my chest. They come quick, and last for about a minute. Just this afternoon the stabbing pain is prolonged, and has radiated to my left shoulder blade. I have a achey pain in my shoulder and arm. I dont know if I need the er or wait to call my cardiologist. Im a 27 year old female with previous asd repair at 5 and a mitro valve replacement 3 years ago after having congestive heart failure. I
dont know if this atributes anything.

Its better tobget to your cardiologist and get check up done. The pain you mention sounds cardiac in origin and shall not be taken lightly esp. In view of your ASD repair.
