What Causes Pain Around Shoulder Post Congestive Heart Failure?

I am a male, 6ft, 200 lbs, I have a history of heart problems, have several stents over the past 10yrs, also a defibrillator implant, Had a Thoracic Heart Procedure 3yrs ago in which 14 laser shots were given to the heart, I am on Coreg, Losartian, Effient, Nitroglycerin patches and spray. I also have congestive heart failure. I have in the past month or so began to have pain that radiates from one shoulder to the other, the pain also radiates to neck and jaw, the pain occurs both day and night and has grown increasingly worse and is relieved by using my nitro spray of which I have used half a bottle=prescription over the past ten days. thank you for your consideration. roger r.

Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that long-standing coronary artery disease with CHF suggests poor cardiac health and after so many procedure nitroglycerin patches are recommended. You can consult your cardiologist to add other anti-anginal drugs.

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

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
