What Causes Chest Pains With Pins And Needles In Left Shoulder With Shortness Of Breath?
Hello. I am 25 years old. Very active person. I'm a runner. For the past week I've been having chest pains that have at times put me to the floor. I 'm having shortness of breathe as well pain and pins and needles in my left shoulder and fingers. My temperature was up this morning. I also cannot sleep as if I lay down, the pain gets worse and I can't move. The only comfort I get is when i sit up and lean forward a bit. There have been major heart troubles in my family. Should I just see a family doctor or should I go to the ER?
