Could Deep Pain Below Breast Bone And Left Shoulder Blade Indicate Heart Attack?
I have been feeling a very deep pain in my abdomen right below my breast bone. I m female, 51, with high blood pressure that I take advastion for as well as type 2 diabetes. I am obese and have had gastric bypass surgery 10 years ago. I also have a sharp pain on and off in my left shoulder blade area. Could these be symptoms of a heart attack?
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, no this may not be cardiac pain but to rule out the possibility it is advisable to get done the EKG test, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
