Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain In The Collarbone And Chest On The Left Side?
I have aching pain that starts sometimes on and sometimes below my left collar bone. It radiates down the left side of my chest (not towards the center of my chest) towards my arm and then will radiate down my left arm to bicep and up my neck -all on left side.
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. But better to rule out cardiac pain as you are having left sided chest and arm pain. So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test. If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
