What Causes Severe Pain In Chest Radiating Towards Neck And Head?
I am having and have had for a few months now severe pain that starts in chest and move into both arms neck, and head, the Dr. Thinks it might be from a nutcracker esophagus. The pain gets worst when walking or stairs. I had a EKG this month and it was normal. My question what do you think. I did have stress test for heart in 2009.
Hi, From history it seems that you might be having cervical spondilitis producing pinched nerve pressure giving rise pain in neck, chest, head and arms. This pain can precipitate by walking and going to upstairs. Go for x-ray cervical spines for cervical spondilits. Physiotherapy, short way diathermy will be of much heloful. Ok and take care.
