What Causes Pain In The Left Breast Along With Back Ache?

I have been having some mild pain on left side going around into breast & some upper back aches. I have rarely had night sweats in past, but last night i had 4 of them, also having a little gas(or indegistion). I had thought the left side pain was from coughing so hard to get rid of mucous since i recently had a head cold, but it had gotten better, now its back and i am not coughing like that anymore. I am a woman 73 yrs old. Kind of worried. My email address is YYYY@YYYY

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Any chest pain must be immediately checked out.
You are right to be concerned.

*do you have any other medical issues or take any take any?
*do you have fever?
*any urinary symptoms?
*do you have any breathing difficulty at rest or on effort?
*do you smoke or consume alcohol?
*were you on any medications like antihistamines or Bronchodilators for the cold and cough?

I recommend :
-an urgent physician or ER consult
-an electrocardiogram and echocardiogram
-blood tests (complete blood count, kidney & liver function tests, lipid profile, blood sugar levels, cardiac enzymes)
-urine analysis
-chest Xray.

Based on these we can arrive at a probable diagnosis.
Time is muscle in case of the heart. Heart attacks can present as vague symptoms like indigestion in women your age. Please see a doctor right away.
Hope this helps and you recover soon.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
