Mid Back And Chest Pain Posted: 12-07-05 16:06pm
Hi,
i had a heart cath a couple of weeks ago
because I was having some pain and
pressure in my chest and have a strong
family history of heart disease. The test
showed that my heart is fine, but I still
have pain and pressure in my chest. It
starts under my left breast and seems like
it goes all the way through to my middle
back. I do have some diagnosed lower back
problems and I was wondering, can
something wrong in the mid back cause this
kind of chest pain?
I have systemic lupus and have aches and
pains all the time anyway, and since
finding out this isn't a heart problem,
it's been a lot easier to ignore. But
it's still there nagging away. My whole
spine hurts to some degree all the time
and I began wondering if any of the nerves
in the mid back affect the chest.
