What Causes Discomfort In The Chest, Sweats And Numbness Down Arms?

Over the last couple of week I have noticed that I am having discomfort in my chest accompanied with sweats and numbness and tingling down both arms. Pain also radiating to my shoulder blades. History includes appendectomy, splenectomy, gallbladder removal and esophagectomy with partial gastrectomy and the small bowel brought up to the esophagus. I am 18 months post op from the last surgery.

Chert pain, sweats and pain radiation to shoulder blade is characters pericarditis, but I don't think you have that based on your short history. I would suggest two differentials, get MRI cervical spine for radicuolpathy ( my strong suspicion) or contact your surgeon to reflux. Regards
