Why do patients with marfan syndrome feel pain in their chest? and they normal complain that the pain moves upward toward the shoulder
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Call MD: Marfan's can cause heart & lung disease which is sometimes life threatening. I hope you have called your doctor to address these issues. Not something to discuss on HealthTap.
