I am walking briskly for one hour covering about 5 Km. daily. For last about 6 months I am feeling pain in my left shoulders blades, left shoulder joint and left arm while walking for about 10 minutes which generally reduces and stops after 5-10 minutes during walking itself. I also get pain in my left Ribs and sides when I bent down are turn to right.
My ECG is normal. 2D Eco report is : (1) Concentric LVH,(2) Diastolic dysfunction, (3) Cardiac irregular Contrutive, (4) EF – 55%. Cardiologist prescribed Ecospirin &% mg. and Rozavel 10 mg. One tablets of each daily.

Thanks for contacting HCM
I am sorry to hear that you are having pain on your left shoulder, chest and arm while walking. As you mention you are also a diabetic which makes you a higher risk of having heart problems. From you description the pain sounds like it is more of a muscular pain as it hurts more with isolated movement and not just with exertion. To be completely sure I recommend that you talk with your cardiologist and possibly perform a stress test. The stress test may help differentiate the pain from muscle or heart.
Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your questions.
