A member asked:

Help! sharp pain in left shoulder blade that shoots pain through chest! should i have had a x-ray too or is just a ecg ok?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor soon: If this pain occurs frequently you should have a complete evaluation not just and ekg and xray. The pain may be coming from the lungs or the blood vessels from the heart.
