What Causes Chest Pain Radiating To The Arm And Neck?

I have been having left chest pain and it goes up into my neck and sometimes into my left arm. I went to cardiologist today and they ran an EKG and it was all clear. My BPM was 98 They told me to come back in 3 weeks. I also had a calcium score test 8 months ago and it was zero. Am I worried for nothing?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chest pain radiating to the arm and neck . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case the symptoms are probably due to acid reflux r due to lung infection . The symp toms can also occur due to cervical spondylosis and trepezius muscle trigger point .I would suggest you to consult chest specialist for proper diagnosis . Doctor may order x-ray and examine physically . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist for acid reflux problem . I would suggest you to eat light and non spicy specially at night , take antacid after every meal , take light walk after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for muscle and disc problem .Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for condition like angina .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
