Sudden pain in back under left shoulder blade. no weight lifting/sports played. pain is now being felt as i breathe. no relief from massage/ibuprofin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: A person with aches at the chest, rib cage, or shoulder can see her doctor to be evaluated. Pains can come from a heart problem (serious!), neck and shoulder muscles, the ribs and their joints, the lungs inside the chest (such as collapsed lung), etc... If one feels her pain is coming from the heart, has a chest tightness, some difficulty breathing, or has past heart disease, she can go to the ER.
