Suggest Treatment For Discomfort In Chest And Back
Ok,,Um dont know how to start this out...here goes. For the past few weeks I have been worried that I may have health problems. Just slight discomfort in the chest and some discomfort in my back. I work in a pretty high stress pharmacy so i dont know if that may be my problem but I do go to a cardiologist in about a week. Just wanted to see what any of you thought?

Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that sudden onset of chest and back discomfort can be and cannot be cardiac but an evaluation is a must.
It's recommended for you to get an ECG and Echocardiography done and consult a physician for further treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
