Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Ear Infection
I ve had sharp stabbing pains in my chest.. (left side, near my left armpit above where a pocket would be on a shirt) that caused a panic attack on nov. 10th... after that it was chronic, maybe around 5-6 sharp stabs a day.. eventually it dwindled down to none... then i got a bad ear infection (My first ear infection actually) for about a week and a half.. 3 days after that, the sharp chest pains came back. I ve been to a doctor and they said we dont know, go to the ER when it s not really an emergency, and i dont have the money..

Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that chest pain is an emergency but stabbing pain for few seconds without any exertion mostly not cardiac but even then an evaluation is required.
Kindly get an ECG done and consult a physician or come back to me with ECG reports if you can’t go to your local GP.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
