Is Pain In Upper Part Of Body With Palpitations And Breathlessness Dangerous?
I m a 42 year old female. My neck, shoulders and arms were hurting, squeezing, burning and very achy. Shortly after getting in the bath I was having a hard time catching my breath and my heart was pounding hard. I took my pulse and it was 103. It s been about 15 mins, my heart beat is at 90, the pain is all but gone but I feel very shaky. Should I go to the er?

Welcome to hcm,
Short answer chest pain radiating to neck left shoulder and left hand is an indication of Heart problem or angina
Detailed answer
You need to be evaluated by an physician with ECG .this pain associated with sweating is most probably
Heart attack or myocardial infarction
Ischaemic heart disease
So get yourself evaluated by a physician as early as possible. You can take nitrates now before going to the physician.
Hope this explains
