What Does Sharp Pain In The Left Shoulder Blade And Chest Indicate?
Hi, I m a 52 year old female, type 1 diabetic, woke up this morning at 3 a.m. with sharp pains behind my left shoulder blade and left side chest. The sharpness lasted for at least a full minute then slowly started to subside, which was about an hour. Still have slight numbness in my left arm. Due to having an oral surgery, I had stopped taking my aspirin for a week because I consider myself a free bleeder when on it. I recently started on celebrex 100mg due to the oral surgery. I was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation to the left aorta when I was 28.

1- ECG of the heart.

3- Cardiac enzyme.
4- Chest X-ray.
