Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling uncomfortable in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Is there a relationship between left shoulder pain and myocardial infarction?Doctor's answer:
Left shoulder pain is somewhat related to myocardial infarction, especially angina pectoris, which is a typical radiating pain that may be related to nerve control. When you notice this symptom, you should first undergo a coronary angiography. If it is found that the coronary arteries have stenosis below 75%, stents should be placed. Rest more during the day and avoid overexertion. Keep nitroglycerin nearby, and take one when the pain recurs.
