A member asked:
What to do if i have mild pain under myleft armpit and pectoral muscle, is this a heart attack in waiting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart Attack?: It could be a heart attack. The best thing to do is to get evaluated by a doctor right away. This is too important to speculate. There is so much more of your history that would be important to be able to tell you more about your risk. Since I do not have that information, I recommend you get checked.
