pain in chest left arm and shoulder

[Pocoyo31]

H for a couple of days now been having odd pains in chest area, usually on the left side amd to the ribs and armpit. Naturally i thought heart or stroke . As i have pain in left arm and ring fingr. Hd 4 ecgs this yr already so thinkin cant be heart probs as they wud have found something then. I do have since a month now sorre spot near my left shoulder blade. CUd this be a cause of it all. Just feel really crap a mo. Just been off my anti dep plls 2 weeks now nd dont want to take them?again as i was a zombie when on them. CUd it be a trapped nerve. Ny ideas wht it can be ?

Hi

I too suffer from pain in my left shoulder and arm. I have a problem with my ulnar nerve and elbow so I'm always told the pain relates to that. I still worry from time to time though that its my heart but I'm still here and all is ok.

Take care and hope you feel better soon.

I've been experiencing all sorts of chest pains and palpitations etc for about 11 years now. I still get scared at the symptoms sometimes. I have had so many tests done (mainly within the first 3 years of diagnosis). They always turned out ok. If you're really worried it's always best to see your dr. first, but I'm sure you are fine. And a lot of times, a pulled muscle(s) can be the source - I had a pulled chest muscle this week - scared the crap out of me last night. Hope you feel better! :)

Thank you for the calming words. as my last ecg was at the end of march and that was okay , i dont think its my heart. shoulder still hurts abit an d have funny pains in left arm and occasionaly right. Been to see a osteopath and he found a tense area in upper back area near left shoulder blade. he says its just muscle tension. think i need to believe wht he said and stop panicking so much. he also said tht i have a muscle dysbalance which apparently can cause all sorts of aches and pains.

still scares me though.

trying to do yoga to calm me down. seems to help a little.
