Question

Stabbing pain left shoulder blade and down left ar past 4hrs.Gurggling in chest. History of gerdand pots normal EKG echo last month. Heart or gerd?

Answer 1

Before addressing...: Risk of heart attack best discussed directly with your physician. Your physician not only has your history but can examine you carefully. Also it is important to share with your doctor any family history of similar issue including heart attack, early death.

Answer 2

See MD, Stop Advil (ibuprofen): Sounds like you have already done enough watching and waiting. Go to your physician for an examination to check for disc injury and other problems. Over the counter analgesics, physical therapy, massage therapy, yoga and acupuncture may help. Initiall cold, then warm compresses after a day or two. If not resolving, i send my patients for x-ray, mri, and referral to ortho and/or pain clinic.

Answer 3

See your doctor: Advil (ibuprofen) can irritate the stomach, leading to gastritis and peptic ulcer disease. Heartburn symptoms should be a warning to stop the advil and to seek the help of your family doctor or internist. Additionally, he or she can also evaluate you for the back symptoms, making sure it is not a more serious issue.

Answer 4

Self diagnosis?: The symptoms you are descrbing sound like classic sciatica. The remedies are various; my favorite is lyying on your stomach and sliding as far to the left of the bed as possible so your left leg can hang off the side(without falling off of course). Simply allow the leg to 'hang' off the side and you should feel the strectch through your low back including the pyriformis muscle pinching your nerv.

Answer 5

Pyroformis syndrome: This could be pyroformis syndrome, which is caused by the body attempting to compensate for a difference in leg-length. This often responds very well to osteopathic or chiropractic manipulation. I would suggest seeking out a local do or chiropracter who treats low back pain. Osteopathic manipulation is much gentler, but chiropractic is often much easier to find. Both help.

Answer 6

Need Testing: Sounds like some sort of electrolyte(minerals in your blood like sodium, potassium or calcium) disturbance. You need to see a doctor to get this sorted out asap.

Answer 7

May be fibromyalgia: There are lots of issues here and when your physician will look at all of these there are major topics to be evaluated. Are there tender myofascial (soft tissue) sites when you are touched? The eye twitches weakness and aching suggest there may be a sleep disturbance that needs evaluation. Need to clarify whether these are migraine or muscle contraction headaches:fibromyalgia fits.

Answer 8

Sounds Systemic: You need a complete workup consisting of labs(blood work) a good physical examination and a careful history. Although this sounds a lot like fms, I am concerned about the systemic issues such as muscle weakness which could be associated with certain tumors (eaton-lamber syndrome). Also paget's disease is another possibility.You need a complete workup. Fms is very treatable if that is your problem.

Answer 9

Yes: It's also effective for esophageal spasm which may accompany gastroesophageal reflux disease. In contrast to angina, which often improves with a single dose (0.4 mg), it's not uncommon for esophageal disease to require 2 or 3 doses which must be given at 5 minutes intervals to avoid hypotension (low bp) and syncope (passing out).

Answer 10

Not normal: Definitely needs to be evaluated by your doctor. Difficulty breathing does not really go with gynecological issues. I would start with your pcp for that then see obgyn for the rest, .
