What Causes Intense Chest Pressure Radiating Into Arms And Breathlessness?
I can only walk around a block. then intense pressure stars in the chest, radiates to the whole upper back-then down the inside of my upper arms. I stop, breathe deeply to get oxygen in...but still find difficulty finishing the block. seeing a casrdologist 25 of june. only recently starting back pressure at nite, stomach feels funny. myocardial ischemia seems to be the definition of these characteristics. going on for at least three months,n now getting really concerned. don not know if I can do a stress test. am I on the right trail.

Chest pressure with pain radiating to the inner side of the left arm and upper part of the back in scapular region suggest cardiac pain . if you are having such type of pain then do ECG and if it is normal still you are having the symptoms then do stress test.
