Question 3

Accepted Answer

Hello, : Hello, there are a number of possible reasons that you left eye could be red & painful. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the surface of the eyeball and is commonly known as "pink eye." it might just be from irritation to the eye or allergies.  If it is caused by a virus or bacteria, it could be quite contagious. Your eyes could be bloodshot because they are irritated by a variety  of things like wind, dry air, cold exposure, dust, etc.  The fact that your eye is red and painful by itself, does not mean that you are having a stroke or a heart attack.  What would be of particular concern would be eye pain with a change to your vision. If that occurs i would recommend being seen right away. Because you have a complicated medical history, if this does not resolve fairly quickly i would notify your doctor.

Question 4

i have dis pain upper part of neck or lower part head at the back.parallel to my ear middle.cause?is it heart attack or stroke or anything fatal?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: An early thirties female with post-auricular pain likely has occipital neuritis or tendinitis of superior trapezius at occiput, especially with pain to palpation or with range of motion of neck. If there are not these findings and if pain is constant then see a doctor.  Concerns increase if there is dizziness or use of cigarettes and taking of birth control pills, a bad combination.  See a doctor.

Same with disorders  of the digestive system such as heartburn, acid reflux, and certain disorders of the esophagus. . Also states where excess adrenaline is released, such as reactions to certain drugs, medications, extreme stress, and even anxiety disorders, can cause chest tightness and pain.

Question 8

wondering about jaw pain & heart attack...  what does it feel like.  does your jaw feel like it may lock up & is it hard to chew.  discomfort in back?

Accepted Answer

Not typically: What you are describing sounds more like a jaw joint problem.  See your Dentist for treatment or referral.  If you have cardiac concerns, better to be safe than sorry.  See your Physician to establish a baseline.

Question 9

chest press, shoulder pain, back pain, cheek pain and neck pain for over 1 week. could this be early warning signs of a heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: The pain seems to be involving different areas of your body, is it mostly left sided? The duration also, 1 week, is not consistent with angina or chest pain due to cardiac disease. A search for alternate causes for the pain is recommended. Please do talk to your doctor about your symptoms.
