What Causes Pain In Chest And Shoulders During Intercourse?

My husband is 55 and not feeling well. He experienced a pain in his chest area during intercourse. He also has had a sharp pain between his shoulders. In general has not felt well the last few days including an upset stomach. Should we be concerned?

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for asking your question. I would do my best to solve your query.
First of all, i would like to ask you that if your husband has any medical illness like BP, Diabetes or any respiratory or heart problems. Also want to tell you that as his age is 55, he needs to do a body check up every 6 monthly to detect any problem at the earliest and avoid the complications.
During intercourse, chest pain and shoulder pain need not to be taken lightly, so i would suggest you to do ECG, Echocardiogram, Xray chest, check BP, Blood sugar and lipid profile, Serum creatinine of your husband.
If everything is normal, then it might be due to muscular pain and take sufficient rest for few days, apply analgesic gel to the paining area and pain will go away soon. But if the problem continues even after doing all this, then you need to consult a physician.
I guess this will surely help you to improve your husband's health and best of luck for that.
I find this answer helpful
