I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest and it's also in the inside part of my left shoulder, going to the back as well. It's weird because it's not the whole chest, just specific points. Sometimes the pain even jumps to my right side for a few seconds. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure and it's been 80120. Should I be worried about this or is it something that will pass on its own?

Based on your description of chest pain localized to specific points and radiating to the back, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, given your age and blood pressure reading, it is less likely to be related to the heart. This type of pain could be musculoskeletal in nature, such as muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected areas and practicing gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Is it gas or heart attack?

Heart attack feels like pressure on chest cannot be relieved by antacids,associated with breathlessness. One can not entirely differentiate chest pain due to gas from chest pain due to heart attack based on symptoms only. You may need to visit a hospital and get evaluated by a health-care provider.

I've been having this strange sensation on the left side of my chest, kind of like a needle prick. I got an ECG done, and it was normal, which is a relief, but my doctor put me on Provonal Forte. I'm just wondering, could this be some kind of chest infection or maybe anxiety acting up?

The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to anxiety or nerve-related issues. Provanol forte tablet is likely prescribed to help with chest discomfort and anxiety symptoms. However, if you are still feeling needle pricking sensations in your chest, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Paracetamol for pain relief as needed.
