Chest pain: Is your pain worse with activity, like walking? does your pain go anywhere else? is it constant or comes and goes?

Accepted Answer

Need to address ASAP: Need to address what might harm you the most quickly.  Your chest pain radiating down your left arm describes a heart attack. Take aspirin if not allergic and seek help NOW.  Your back and leg symptoms sound more like a herniated disc /sciatic nerve injury. Only after you are evaluated for your heart, a workup for back problems as mentioned should be initiated. Answer is not on internet, call 911.
