A member asked:
To clarify. if shoulder pain is caused by untreated heart issue, how long would it take for that situation to progress into a heart attack? days, wks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Minutes? Hours?: Racing with the clock? If the pain is present and is being caused by untreated heart disease, it is happening now. Known heart disease ought not to be untreated. This does not mean only surgical procedures or drugs, but can include life style changes with specific attention to the cardiac issue in a serious way. There are varieties of heart attack - you are not a teen - don't play chicken with it.
