heart attack symptom

Hi,

I was recently feeling somewhat wierd and i went to a full checkup..I came to know iam having heart murmurs..The cardiologist told there is nothing to worry..this week i suddenly had a neck and shoulder pain on both sides.the right side was okay in few hours but still having pain in left side of neck and shoulder  ..evry1 says cud be  a muscle spasm..(This was the first time i experienced such pain).. Aftr 2 days now its a bit okay but i had mild pain in between my chest when i bent down to pick something..

What could all these be? Im worried if i will get a heart attack..Please pour in ur suggestions.. I had met the cardiologist just before  2 weeks ..

Based on what you have described, IF the pain is constant and does not vary with exertion, I think is most likely from muscle and nerves and NOT from the heart.  

As far as the murmur goes, I would make sure an echocardiogram was completed.  Unless you have symptoms associated with exertion and or stress, such as pain, pressure, shortness of breath, nausea or eve just sweating, I would recommend a stress test.

stay on top of your Doc and let him know about your symptoms. If he don't listen find a new one. I have bent down many times and stood up with a chest pain. I'm sure its just a muscle since my 13 teen year old gets them too.
