Back and Chest Pain

EKWALTER

I get a pain in my upper back that spreads around to my chest. Sometimes it lasts about 15 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes. It feels as if I have been stabbed in the back and it comes through my chest. It feels like it comes full circle around my upper body. I have a hard time talking, turn white, clamming and sometimes nauseous. I had every heart test about 3 years ago, but now they are becoming more frequent. What do you think is causing this pain?

3 years is a long time! Head to the ER again. I have heart disease and I do have discomfort in my upper back between my shoulder blades. But the discomfort is more a pins and needle sensation that coincides with some chest pressure. See a doctor soon and have this checked again. Take care, Ally

I can't say what's causing your pain, but it needs to be checked out by a medical professional. I would head to the ER if it happens again before you can see your doctor to be safe.
