I Have Had Pains In My Chest,Can You Help Me
I am a 39 yeaar old female who doesn,t smoke or drink but for the past week I have had pains in my chest , like a tightening which leaves me feeling breathless it also makes me feel like I have to cough to ease it. The pain goes to my back and up my throat . It feels like my heart is pounding and I can hear it really loudly in my head and I can feel it pounding in my mouth!! I get a numbness in my shoulders and arms , they feel heavy. I also get really bad sweats that last about 5-10 minutes. Can you help.

I Could Possibly Think It Is Anxiety Or A Panic Attacks I Have The Same Symptoms It Is Scary My Herat Seems To Skip Beats And I Find It Hard To Breathe And My Left Arm Feels Disconnected And Side Of My Face It Could Be Just Your Dehydrated Drink Two Litres Of Water A Day And Excerise Go For Walks And Breathe In And Try To Relax And Not Think Bout It I Know Its Hard But Stress Can Cause This Babe xx
chances of this being associated with anxiety or hyperacidity is more but it is always advisable to have routine examination to rule out any complication.
