Is it heart problem ?
Hi.,
I have pain in my left shoulder, also i can feel the pain in my left middle finger and in my wrist. Initially i thought the pain related might be related to heart problem. so i went got blood checked the cholesterol levels were as follows
Total : 184.5
HDL:44.5
LDL:109
4 months back i took an ECG and that to was normal. My resting pulse is 70. After climbing stairs of two floors up & down with for about 5-7 times my pulse rate will be around 145. I can jog for about 1 km wthin 6-7 mins. Sometimes i get some sharp pain (i can pinpoint the place where i can feel the pain and it does radiate) in the chest area and usually will last for few seconds. there few spots in shoulder area (neck to shoulder) where if i touch the pain immediately starts as if they are trigger points.
I am male 31 years old and overweight with no previous medical history
is there something i sould be worried about or get checked

Hello and sorry for the late reply. If with movement you are getting pain it is likely to be an inflammation of the skin, subcutaneous tissue or the bone. This can happen with injury, repetitive activity or an infection of the skin. Sometimes it can be costochondritis, inflammation of the sternal rib junction. If the pain is aggravated with work or exercise then it could be due to cardiac pain. But when in doubt always best to have it checked. So please consult your primary care physician who may ask for an EKG or a treadmill test to rule out a cardiac cause for the pain. Regards.
