Chest Pain That Seems To Radiate Up Into Left Shoulder And Jaw And Down Left Arm. Is It Heart Attack ?
I have been experiencing chest pain that seems to radiate up into my left shoulder and jaw and down my left arm . This pain started during my daily exercise and has gotten progressively worse over the last several hours. I have a history of high blood pressure so I am worried about a possible heart attack . However, the pain seems to ease with NSAIDs and applying heat. Is it possible this is a heart attack or something else?
