I googled numbness in left side of the body and chest pain. I went to ER 4 days ago with acute pain in left upper chest behind my collarbone, inability to move my left arm, shoulder pain, and shortness of breath. The pain was preventing me from breathing.

Symptoms may include cough, back pain, chest pain, chest congestion, rapid breathing, shortness of breath, fever, chills, sweats, headache, weakness, tiredness, and a general feeling of discomfort and body aches. It is generally best diagnosed by chest x-ray in addition to a thorough physical exam. Treatment is based on the severity of your symptoms and the type of germ causing the infection.

I too enjoy running, and around 3 weeks after giving up smoking I got markedly short of breath, tight chest and chest and back aches and pains, twinges and weird sensations. The only time I actually felt much relief was just after a run, and then the SOB would come back. Prior to giving up smoking - I had a CXR and sputum cytology to get a baseline of lung health. I was surprised to find, the x-ray reported overinflated lungs and air trapping . The doc said could be the start of emphysema.

I am having severe back pain in my upper back, sometimes radiating through into my chest. This pain started about three weeks ago, and has gotten steadily worse. Muscle relaxers do not seem to be of much benefit. Even pain medication does not relieve the pain. The only time I am at ease is while lying down. Whenever I try to turn over or move after resting, the pain reappears. Turning my head and breathing deeply is painful. The pain is not directly over my spine, but to the side.

I have been to 2 different doctors and had an MRI and there seems to be no cause for my severe burning pain in my upper back in my scapula area. The pain meds do not even take all the pain away and the Dr. says I have a pulled muscle and wants me to do physical therapy. My MRI says I have C4-C5 Subtle disc bulge, C5-C6 Unicate hypertrophy and C6-C7 Disc bulge. The Dr. said my MRI was fine but my report says different. Why would he say I am fine when I am clearly in severe pain...

I have had pain in my upper right chest and right shoulder blade area for about a week or so. It almost feels like a pulled muscle. Also I have been having a sharp pain in my lower right abdomin. It hurts when pressure is applied and when I get up and walk around and sometimes I get a sharp shooting pain. Sometimes it feels like I have to pass gas and the pain gets a little worse. I have also had loser bowels over the last couple days. What could be causing this?

I have had CFS and Fibro for a long time and it is hard, often to distinguish non related symptoms from the many I do have with the existing illnesses But back in late summer of 2012, I began to have chest pains. It just felt like something was clinching my heart, I'd wait and it would leave after a short time. The episodes were rare and short lived, so I brushed it off as maybe the Fibro.

When i sleep I often get a sharp pain on my upper part of my right chest that subsides throughout the day but comes back when Im lying down. What can this mean?

Terrible chest infection - loads of infected mucus I am sucking out. Second prescription of antibiotics and it's not even winter yet... Suppose it's because the funduplasty needs to be repeated, I don't know. I pray for Ashley's recovery.

I've had pain in my chest and back (thorasic spine area) that feels like a band of pain that is constant. Been diagnosed for lack of anything specifici - Chronic Pain. I'm on heavy doses of narcotics to control the pain just to get through the days and nights. My mother and daughter have both heard of some heart related issues specific to women that they feel this could be. Nothing has shown up on any tests - heart, gastro, etc.

I've been experiencing a lot of upper chest pressure pains at night recently. It reduces me to tears as it means I cant lay down which is when its worse. It helps to arch my back slightly, but its still always there. It's only ever happened to me at night, and has been a frequent problem the last month after now three spells of this after only having one severe episode 18 month ago. I dunno what could be wrong. It's like something is sitting on my chest.

The following day I woke up with a dull pain in my upper right back , the pain has remained, somedays its worse and it is worse when i twist or bend to stretch and pick things up but doesnt feel like muscle pain. The pain goes away at night and does not stop me sleeping, for around the first hour when i am awake I have very little or no pain and then it comes on and stays all day.

Hi am expiriencing the same exact pain as you! I have very back pain in my upper back next to and under my left shoulder blade, and I have the pain in my chest too, that feels like it is radiating through my back into my chest, right in my left breast. It hurts especially bad when I take a deep breath or sneeze. I also have very bad neck pain.

If x-rays have not been done, it might be beneficial to begin with diagnostic exam of the cervical spine and proceed with additional testing as indicated. Upper back pain that is concentrated around the shoulder blade area and is accompanied by radiating pain to the arm should be investigated for possible disc abnormalities which are affecting the spinal nerves. Hopefully you will be able to find some definitive cause that is creating your symptoms.

I think it's time to see a doctor. Never ignore chest pain and now pain in your back and shoulders. Please get in and see someone today.

I am so frustrated. 12/2/00 I began having really bad pain in my left side under my rib cage and through my back. After two days, the pain was so bad I could hardly move. That was Sunday. On Monday, the intense pain had subsided but I was still very uncomfortable--even sore to the touch. Ultrasound & Upper GI diagnosed a 3 cm gallstone and a 2 cm lesion or tumor in my pancreas. A CT scan a week later showed the pancreas normal. Had my gallbladder removed by laproscopy on 1/5/01.
