How To Treat Chest Pain?
Hi
I have a pin over my chest that also hurts my back when my body is relaxed. And when I lift my right arm up above my head it hurts too..it hurts when i breath and can feel a slight numb feeling on my right side of my neck and arm.
Could this be a wind or is it more?

Hello,
It really depends upon your age and risk factors for heart disease. If you are young and healthy then it is probably just a problem with the muscles in your chest wall and neck. If you are older, a smoker, have diabetes or hypertension then there is a concern that this could be from your heart and you should see a doctor right away.
In any case if the pain with deep breaths continues then see a doctor.
Regards
