Does Painful Back Indicate Sign Of Heart Attack?
Hi. Thank you. I was wondering if pain in the back...near the wing area could be a sign of a possible heart attack. A friend just died of a massive heart attack and his wife said he had a pain in his back and they were treating it as a muscle problem.

HI
Well come to HCM
In case of posterior infraction this could be possible, but in your case this can be said anything because without the clinical examination and EKG test it can not be ruled out, so in my opinion better to get done the EKG test, this would clear the doubt, hope this information helps, take care.
