A member asked:

I have had upper back and neck pain for two days now. if i move a certain way, the pain shoots into my jaw. should i be worried that this is related to a heart attack? i dont remember straining my back, but its possible i slept strangely?

See below: This sounds more like a musculoskeletal problem...muscle strain or injury. Depending on your medical history, angina pectoris, chest pain due to coronary vascular disease can be ruled out by your physician.
