What Causes A Painful Spot In The Upper Back?

Your symptoms are not related to any cardiac causes.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome back on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms are not related to any cardiac disorders.
They are typical of a musculo-skeletal pain or a nerve pain. A muscular stretching or a wrong position during staying or sleeping could explain all this symptomatology. Another possible cause to consider would be bulging intervertebral disc in the cervical region, causing radicular pain in the arm.
For this reason, I would recommend performing some tests besides a careful physical exam:
- a cervical spine X ray study
- a nerve conduction study may be needed in case a nerve compression is suspected during physical exam.
A cervical CT spine would be the next test to be done in case a bulging disc is suspected after the above test results.
But, no other cardiac tests are needed! As a cardiologist, I can assure you about that!
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Feel free to ask me again, whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
