Suggest Treatment For Severe Chest Pain And Shoulder Pain

Hi, I keep getting chest pain & a dull ache in my left shoulder, sometimes my whole arm & neck. I also occasionally get a coppery taste in my mouth. I have been in hospital with this once over the last two years & I ve also recently had a check up after moving surgery & my Dr had no concerns really but it keeps happening & is really worrying. I also keep getting very painful, large spots in the centre of my chest that never go away, they just get larger then smaller, then larger again & when they get big, it s agony. Any ideas?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of stress, anxiety related symptoms is more.
But since it is left sided chest pain better to first rule out heart diseases.
So get done ecg and 2d echo. If both are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Your symptoms are mostly due to stress and anxiety.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too. Don't worry, you will be alright. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
