What Causes Intermittent Left Scapula Pain And Burning?
Question: I have been having intermittent left scapula pain and burning, no shortness of breath, thought it was a muscle but has been coming and going for about 2 weeks? Pain occasionally goes to front of chest in upper breast area.
Brief Answer:
Better to rule out cardiac cause first.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
At your age of 66, any chest discomfort should be rule out for cardiac cause first.
So get done
1. ECG
2. 2d echo.
If both are normal then no need to worry for cardiac cause.
It is mostly muscular pain. So avoid heavyweight lifting. Avoid strenuous exercise. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
So first rule out cardiac cause.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
