A member asked:
Is it possible for back pain to radiate to the chest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely!: Back pain can radiate to the chest and chest pain to the back. Causes range from the very dangerous such as aortic dissection, pulmonary embolus to much more benign, such as osteopathic rib dysfunction and other musculoskeletal issues. Other possibilities include shingles, esophageal dysfunction and others. A good doctor can eliminate the more serious conditions and help you figure out the answer.
