Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have an occasional pain shooting up from my heart to the right side of my neck. Not a sharp pain, a dull pain lasting only a second each time. The chest pain has been a one in a blue moon occurrence ever since I was a child, I m thinking due to my heart murmur. But the neck pain is new to me starting 3 days ago.
Chest pain can be because of a lot of causes. But it is very important to rule out the cardiac cause.
You first need to get some tests done to rule out the cause of this pain. I'll recommend you for ECG, Stress echo and an X-Ray of the cervical spine. Further treatment will depend on the result of these tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Sameer Maheshwari, Cardiologist
