Can Back, Underarms And Chest Pain, Heart Poking And Tightening Be Treated?
hello doctor,
i am suffering from severe back pain, full back area covering the underarms,over chest area, cannot tell specifically whole heart area
like poking, tightening, cannot walk even a small distance. i feel heaviness in heart. kindly suggest me what to do
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having costo-chondritis giving this problem. But as you got tightening and unable to walk for short distance any cardiac ailment should be ruled out. Go for EKG and cardiac enzymes test done. Meanwhile take ibuprofen for pain as needed. Ok and take care.
