Pain between heart and left shoulder

Pain between heart and left shoulder

I have had upper back pain between my upper spine, left shoulder, and right shoulder since 2006. I am on Hydrocodone Acetaminophen 10/500 three times days for pain, Xanax .5 mg twice daily for anxiety, and Dex-amphetamine 20mg once per day for Adult A.D.H.D.. For the past couple of days I have been getting unknown pain between the left/center chest and left lower part of my shoulder blade, in to my left arm. I am not dizzy, fatigue, or confused. This pain comes for awhile then goes away. I also experience numbing and tingling in my hands when my wrist is in certain positions for a long period of time. I want to make sure this is not my heart because I live 10 miles from the nearest hospital and the pain is a little worse today then before.

Your raised a lot of "factor" for which I have no measure/knowledge... but as far as symptoms go, you have a couple that suggest a heart problem (mild heart attack?). I'd suggest you look up the symptoms of a heart attack and do a match. At you age it is unlikely but still possible.  I don't remember what the arm symptom is for a HA, but you description is in the ball park of what I remember.

Still, the back pain, if it is really in the back, not chest, I'd say that is not a HA symptom, best I can recall.  I've never had a HA myself, or at least I have not had one that I know about and I have had many, many heart tests and procedures and so I assume I have not had one, and I too have occasional pain in the back, in fact I feel a bit of a pain right now around my left shoulder blade. - I'm serious not kidding, must be my bedtime.
