back pain- pulsating, throbbing in chest
my husband came today after working started getting back-shoulder pain and now has a pulsating feeling, like a spasm in his chest near his shoulder- you can actually see his chest throbbing. he says that it feels like his was stabbed in the back- shoulder. What could he do for relief?
The most urgent immediate thing I can think of is an aortic aneurysm. I would take him to the nearest GOOD ER tonight! Sudden severe chest pain, pulsations. and back pain all suggest this. I say GO NOW!!
