I feel sleepy and exausted most of the time.Having chest and back pains with a slight pain in my right arm (just beneath the shoulder joint) please help or am i being concerned over nothing
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases. Your symptoms like easy tiredness, fatigue on minimal exertion, chest and back pain etc. are more suggestive of heart diseases. So consult doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring, ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes simple musculoskeletal pain can be the cause. So avoid movements causing pain. Avoid bad postures in sleep. Take simple painkiller like ibuprofen. Apply warm water pad on affected areas. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1 week but first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
