What Causes Severe Chest Pain Spreading To Breastbone?
Hi, whilst exercising I developed a bad chest pain that spread from breastbone area across to my left shoulder, my shoulder blade and then progressively down my arm. I could barely lift my arm afterwards for about 20 minutes. I am 28, 150lbs any and 5.6 I had pre-eclampsia during my first pregnancy and suffered very high blood pressure for 3 days before admition to the point of severe chest pain. I have regular palpitations, mostly when led in bed at night. Should I be getting this looked into?
