What Causes Pain In The Shoulder And Lower Legs?

i have been having pain in my right shoulder for over a week on and off. My blood pressure is 141/74. I have been walking, but get pain in my lower legs, and am out of breath after walking up steps. Am I ok or at risk of having a heart attack or stroke?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

How old are you? Pain in the shoulder could be as simple as a minor musculoskeletal trauma/spasm or a sign of an underlying abdominal condition.

However, given your history of dyspnea on exertion and pain in the lower limbs, I would advise you to get your lipid profile done and also an arterial Doppler study of bilateral legs.

The pain could be due to a condition known as peripheral vascular disease. The breathlessness has to be evaluated if it is of cardiac ot respiratory origin.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr ADNAN SAYEED, General & Family Physician
