Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have had chest pain for a while now. At times my arm hurts as well. It has been going on for about four years and recently I have started having neck and shoulder pain. I am a 22 years old male. I have asthma. Currently, I am taking Albuterol. I took EKG, chest X-ray, and multiple blood test.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Where exactly do you get chest pain, is it in the center or on the sides, upper or lower chest, does it occur at rest or exertion? Is there any upper abdominal pain, bloating, burping, nausea, vomiting, chest burning, or relation to food? This is most likely due to cervical pain, due to compression of nerves between spine. Does this pain increase on neck movement or any neck trauma, these may be the associated symptoms. You should get X-ray cervical spine AP (anteroposterior) and lateral view and further may need MRI. You need to visit physiotherapist after X-ray and also orthopedician. Till the time have tablet Neurobion forte (Vitamin B1, B6, and B12) once a day which is a nerve vitamin. If this is not helpful, then you need to have tablet Pregabalin 75 mg bedtime, which is a nerve stabilizer.
