What Causes Radiating Chest Pain With Sweating?
Hello, I have been to the ER twice this week for the same issue. I have a pain in my chest that wont go away. It starts in the left side of my back and then grows more intense as it moves to the front where my heart is. It feels like labor pains, but only in my chest. My arms continue to lose feeling, I am sweating, I can't sleep for the pain. Can you help?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
We should definitely rule out cardiac pain in your case because radiating left sided chest pain with sweating are seen commonly with heart diseases.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes musculoskeletal pain can cause similar symptoms.
So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
