What Is The Treatment For Heart Pain , Numbness In The Shoulder And Arm?

Hi there,



I was wondering if you would be able to help me. I am a 23 year old woman who is over weight and a smoker.



I have been getting pains to the right of my heart and soome numbness in my shoulder and right arm.



I went to the hospital and was informed that I have an inflamed heart, he did not explain what this entailed, I was prescribed Diclofenac Sodium 50mg along with Ompeprazole 20mg I just wanted to find out what an inflammation of the heart actually meant and whether this was the correct medication.



I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,
Welcome.
Their is no such term as inflammation of heart.
The medications you are taking is a pain killer & a drug for acidity.
So they must be referring gastritis.
I expect the heart to be ok but it will be better if you could send me the echo report.
Thanks
