Hi, my sister has some kind of sharp or stinging chest pain and her arms hurt. She also has short breathing. She says its happened before but not this bad. Shes only 20 but has been worried that her symptoms were similar to those that precede a heart attack, although maybe not as severe. Do you have any ideas/advice on what we ought to do? I dont want to call a hospital but Im also kind of worried.
Have you done any kind of test before like ECG? Breathlessness and pain in the left arm if it radiates to the left shoulder till jaw indicates angina sectors. So to rule out this we need to have an ECG with other blood tests. The recommendation now is to meet the nearby cardiologist as soon as possible.
