Suggest Treatment For Throbbing Sensation In Chest

Hi, All day i have been getting throbbing sensation in the left hand side of my chest about half way down and an extremly painful throbbing on the top of my left shoulder near my neck. Also if I push on my chest where it is throbbing my shoulder hurts even more and it also hurts more when i take deep breaths.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Left sided throbbing chest and shoulder pain are commonly seen with heart diseases.
So, in my opinion, you should immediately consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) tools rule out cardiac diseases.
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can also cause similar symptoms.
So take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid movements causing pain.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
