My husband has had upper left chest pain for weeks. He s had a ct scan with contrast of lower pelvis nd abdomen and checked for kidney stones. They said he had lots of stool backed up. He has taken magnesium citrate twice and still has the pain. Any advice on what specialist to see next? YYYY@YYYY

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Constipation (stool backed up) can not be cause upper chest pain.
Upper left chest pain is mostly due to heart and lung diseases.
So consult internal medicine doctor and get done ecg and chest x ray.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart and lung diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
