About 10 years ago, I had an episode where I had severe upper back pain between my shoulder blades, and feeling faint, sweating, and nausia. If I had a heart attack at that time. Is there a way they could tell that now? I didnt go to the doctor or hospital at the time.
Hi. Yes, back pain, sweating and faintness could be symptoms of a possible heart attack. If the pain is persistent, in a crescendo pattern, and you have risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, increased cholesterol, smoker, family history of heart disease), you should see a doctor right away, so you can be evaluated properly.
