What Does Recurring Stabbing Pain Between Shoulder Blades And Chest Mean?

i have a stabbing pain the comes and goes between my shoulder blades and moves to the front of my chest causing shortness of breath and extreme tightening. It s so painful it makes me cry out in pain and I have a very high pain tolerance. It does not come at any specific time and can last from 1 or 2 minutes to 30 minutes of more. What could be the cause of this. It happens nearly on a daily basis.

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that you are having pain in interscapular region which radiates towards anterior chest. It can be muscular pain but heart related pain should be excluded by doing heart function test. Treatment of it considering it as muscular pain is analgesic such as ibuprofen for pain relief. Vitamin B and C is help in recovery . Sometimes I apply local injection triamcilone with good results. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to help you.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
