Have Headache, Chest Pain And Burning Sensation Around Left Breast. Should I Worry?

Hey, I've had what I think is the beginning stages of flu for the past few days so have been taking over the counter medications to stop it before it gets worse. However, I have noticed that I've been getting very bad headaches almost migrane like with chest pain, a burning sensation mainly radiating around my left breast and occasionally with this I feel sharp pains near the back of my left shoulder. Is this something I should be getting checked out?

Hi,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Burning sensation in breast with pain,headache.
Referral pain in the left shoulder is cause of concern.
You have not mentioned the age.
Age play an important role in left side of chest pain, particularly if, it is a referral pain.
So please consult a physician and get in blood examination for lipid profile( fat in blood),ECHO ( heart).
Headache is side effect of flu and anxiety (due to chest pain).
Hope I have answered your query.
If , further any question I will be happy to help.
Good luck.
