What Causes Discomfort In The Chest And Shoulders?
my husband has a discomfort across his chest & shoulders sometimes. he has had polymyalgia rumatica & also a very mild heart attack so they put 2 stents in 1 artery that were 95% blocked but also had one not important one blocked 75% It seems often when folks just don t seem right they are having pre-heart attack symptoms. We are trying to figure what type of Dr. to go to as he did already go to his primary which said if it persists come back.
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like Paracetamol or Aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
