What Causes Chronic Pain In Back, Shoulder Blades, Numbness In Left Hand And Headache?

Hi Since 2 days ago I have very little but chronic pain in my back almost between shoulders behind my heart. My left hand gets numb sometimes and my right hand had shaking today. My pain is continuing but mu numbness was just a few minutes. yesterday I had dizziness a little and i felt so weak bodily, also, a mild headache. I have an important exam this Saturday. I need to mention that my headache started Saturday on and off but this chronic heart pain does not stop since I heard the news of death of my friend s husband. I am a 41 woman, healthy diet, with heart attack history in family. As I have studied a little before, I am stressed because this pain is with me even when I lie down or sit or stand. please let me know what do you think?

Hi,

From your description, I am of the opinion that You should be having an Echocardiogram to check for heart ailments. Till then you can have Aspirin and clopidogrel along with some opioid for pain. Nebulization with beta blockers will also help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ashish Ranjan, General & Family Physician
