What Is This Sharp Pain My My Chest And Shoulder?

November 25th, 2009 · 3 Comments · Pain

I have a sharp pain over my left lung in the lower left side back, my heart, and goes into my left inside shoulder. It lasted for a few hours, and the pain got pretty intense to the point it was taking my breath away. It got worse when I took a breath, laughed, or coughed. and then I went to sleep and woke up and it hasn’t hurt in about two weeks. I don’t smoke, drink, do any drugs. I havn’t had any injury’s, or had any trauma. But since its went away, I havn’t seen a Dr.
Lupus and breast cancer runs in my family. So does heart disease. But If I had one of those wouldn’t I still have the symptoms?

    A sharp pain in the upper left quadrant of the chest radiating around the back, I would really worry about an angina or a heart attack. I think I would want to see a doctor and get an EKG, especially after I had four heart attacks like this.

    There are two conditions I can think of where severe pain lasts for hours then goes away; One of these is kidney stones. The pain radiates from the lower back to the front, though, and you said yours started over your lung. It might be kidney stones though.
    The other condition similar to yours is false heart attack. These are similar to panic attacks in origin:http://www.ehow.com/facts_4829501_false-…

    You would know if it was your heart for sure ………Most of the time > It could very well be gas . Its what we eat, the chemicals in our fast foods and stuff and prescription drugs………Use a Candida Cleanse …….Oh btw u can also use a Lung Cleanser or Lung Formula at least once a year alone with a heart cleanser or blood cleanser and Kidney and liver cleansers. they are fantastic and cost about $17-$20 each . Jsut clean ur body with that stuff…….
