What Causes Stinging Sensation In Upper Left Chest Area?
For two days now, I get a stinging sensation on my upper left chest. Almost right where my nipple is. Then, my left thumb and pointer finger begins to have short pains and stiffen up and goes away. I m 33, 145lbs, 5 4 woman. What is this? Currently taking 20mpg. Of lexapro. Would love an answer, but cannot pay. Looking for a similar QandA to help me.

Hi..
Welcome to HCM
I understood your problem. Your symptoms could be of cardiac origin. You have not mentioned whether about your blood pressure & sugar levels. I suggest you to consult doctor to rule out cardiac problem. Some times stiffness in fingers can occur due to low calcium levels. If you still have doubts please revert back.
Thank you
Have a good day
