What Causes The Shooting Pain In Left Carotid Artery Area?
i have been experiencing off and on for a couple months random shooting pain in my left coratid artery area. yesterday i jog/walked my first 10k and about 15 minutes afterward well after i had cooled off and my breathing was back to normal my heart sped up i broke out into a sweat felt dizzy and my entire left arm tightened i thought i was going to pass out. after taking a few deep breathes and drinking some water it disappeared but it scared me. do you think i should see a dr? heart problems run in my family do you think this is heart related? oh i m 35 female, 5 4 165. had gastric bypass was 269 4 years ago. had gall bladder removed last year.
certainly you should get yourself evaluated. first get your routine test like lipid profile and sugar test, ekg. you should also get tmt done if ekg is normal. avoid strenuous exercise till heart disease is ruled out.
