The pain is off and on. Alleve nor Percocet relieves the pain. I ve been suffering for a few months now and my doctor can t figure it out.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have finger numbness . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to many reasons like acid reflux , chest infection , muscle spasm or angina . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist for proper examination .

Doctor may refer you to chest specialist for chest infection or gastroenterologist for acid reflux . For now eat light and non spicy , eat small and frequent meals , apply warm compresses on chest and shoulder and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain .
