Can myocardial ischemia cause back pain?

Patient's question:

I have back pain for the next two days. I feel weak. It's mainly the pain on both sides of my back. The left side is a bit more severe. I'm wondering if it's due to myocardial ischemia. Does myocardial ischemia cause back pain?

Doctor's answer:

When myocardial ischemia occurs, it may cause recurrent angina pectoris in the human body. This condition usually manifests as repeated pain points in the back of the body, spreading in a reflex manner. Therefore, it is recommended that if you experience recurrent pain, you should consider the possibility of this condition recurring. It is best to first visit a hospital for a thorough examination and pay attention to rest during daily life.
