Hi Dear ,

As per your query you have recurring left handed pain in the upper back . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like lung infection , muscle pull , trigger point of tepizeus muscle and cardiac condition like angina .But in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are probably due to heart problem . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination without any delay . Doctor may order ECG , TMT , complete blood profile and tropinin t test to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe aspirin , isosorbid nitrate , sedative , betablocker and recommend angigraphy . Doctor may refer you to orthopedic surgeon . For now stay calm , do not exert your body and take proper rest .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
