Suggest Remedy For Dull Pains In Right Side Of Chest With Elbow
My Family has a history of angina. I'm 39 obesse female and I have recently started to get very dull localised pains in right side of chest, right arm near the elbow, back and now right side of jaw. I feel very breathles, my chest feels tight and it last for twenty minutes. After twenty minutes the symptons fade. We think we can rule of indigestion as I have an event before breakfast whilst walking the dog.
