A member asked:
Is pins and needles on left side in shoulder blades a possible sign of heart attack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can't say: The symptoms of heart attack can vary quite a bit. Some patients have no symptoms at all. Pins and needles in the shoulder blades are not the usually complaints before or during a heart attack. If you are worried though you should get it checked out.
