View allI'm experiencing chest pain off and on throughout the day, and it often spreads to my shoulder and left hand. I've been to a cardiologist, and she mentioned it's not a heart issue. All my tests have come back normal, but I'm still concerned about the pain. Which kind of doctor should I see next to figure out what's going on? I'm really confused about the next step.
Since your cardiologist has ruled out heart-related issues and your reports are normal, your chest pain radiating to your shoulder and left hand might be due to musculoskeletal problems, such as costochondritis or muscle strain, or even nerve-related issues. A consultation with an orthopedic specialist or a pain management specialist might be beneficial to evaluate these possibilities. Additionally, if stress or anxiety is contributing to your symptoms, seeking advice from a mental health professional could also be helpful. They can provide strategies to manage anxiety which might help alleviate your pain.
