I am having chest pain on the right side of my chest. It is hard to take a full breath. It is also affecting my right shoulder and going up to my neck. I don t know if it is just a new symptom of my fybro or do I need to be checked out by a doctor. also I woke up with it today and was freezing.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

It is necessary making some tests in order to exclude other possible causes that may lead to this situation:
- A resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
- A cervical spine X ray study
- A shoulder X-ray study
- Inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR).

Fibromyalgia may lead to this clinical situation, but it is important to exclude a possible cardiac issue or a bulging disc in the cervical vertebral column.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
