What Would Be The Cause Of Shooting Pain Through Your Chest/shoulder Blade?

November 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Pain

It comes and goes very often, i get a very intense shooting pain through my chest, either side or both at the same time, as well as my mid-upper back and shoulder blades. It hurts to move, breathe, bend over, anything. I want to schedule an appointment but i want to know what i should get tested for, and not just another go in “idk” leave. Doc said he doesnt think its heart disease as im young and tests are oka, but never got tested for lupus.
19 years old by the way, almost 20. Its been going on for years now off and on, since around the age of 16. One doctor thought its GERD, meds didnt help. Most recent thought swelling of the chest wall, wasnt it either. 3 ekgs negative for heart disease.

    You need to make them check for your spine you could have a slight curve in your spine which can cause all of this, it could be a disease in your abdomen, or it could just be stomach gas, but what you’ve described sounds very serious, so I suggest you explain to the doctor everything you explained here
