What Causes Pain In Chest And Left Shoulder With Bloating Of Abdomen?

hello, Last night my husband had an episode that included pain and bloating in his chest, below the breasts, indigestion, pain in his left shoulder and jaw, and cold sweats. I was not with him and didn t find out till now. He had eaten a small salad and bowl of soup and had 1 alcoholic drink. This is the second or third time, but never this severe and never got jaw pain or sweating. He didn t seek medical attention, went home and eventually felt better. He was active and fine today. Should we seek medical attention tonight at a hospital or call for an appointment tomorrow with a cardiologist? We live in the New Orleans area and those appointments can take a few weeks to get. I realize that some of these symptoms could also be gastric. What do you think? Thanks Julie

Hi,

* The lower chest pain with referred pain to left shoulder may indicate various possibilities as severe reflux esophagitis, early signs of heart problem or else.
* Though he is fine now, it is mandatory to take an appointment with your cardiologist without taking risk.
