What Causes Pain In Chest Along With Numbness In Arm?
I had myopericarditis a month ago. I am a healthy 25 year old professional hockey player. It started with sharp chest pains and numbing in the arm i was admitted to hospital and given large doses of advil. I was released after a week. The sharp pains have gone away but occassionally I get some pain in the back or chest and some numbness in the arm. How long does yhis last?

Hello,
The persistence of pain in chest and / or back could be a sequelae of pain due to myocarditis. The pain will disappear over a period of time. If it doesn't then you may consult your cardiologist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
