Firstly, congratulations on the significant weight loss and the improvement in your blood pressure control. It's excellent that your blood pressure is within a healthier range. The pain you describe in the left hand near the elbow and in the shoulder, especially during brisk walking, could be due to various reasons. However, it's essential to take any chest pain or discomfort seriously and consult with your healthcare provider promptly. Given that you've experienced this pain during physical activity and you have a history of high blood pressure, it's crucial to rule out any cardiovascular concerns. Your normal echocardiogram is a positive indicator, but the pain you describe should be evaluated further. Here are a few considerations: 1. Musculoskeletal causes: pain in the left arm and shoulder could be musculoskeletal in nature, related to strain or overuse during exercise. 2. Cardiovascular causes: while your echo is normal, it's still important to consider other cardiovascular factors. Pain in the left arm can sometimes be associated with reduced blood flow. 3. Nerve impingement: nerve impingement or compression can also cause pain in the arm and shoulder. Since your symptoms have a potential cardiovascular connection, it's advisable to consult with your healthcare provider. They may recommend further cardiovascular evaluations, such as a stress test or additional imaging, to assess the heart's response to exercise. Don't ignore any unusual symptoms, especially during physical activity. It's better to be cautious and have a healthcare professional evaluate your situation. Consider scheduling a private text consult within the app to discuss your symptoms in more detail and receive personalized advice based on your health history.

Hi Lybrate user ,no need to worry, a frequent and common reason for shoulder blade discomfert is a muscle strain, also known as a pulled muscle. This may result from overuse or stress on the arms or upper back. A muscle may also become strained if you've slept in a new bed, a new position, or even recently started a new exercise program. Hope you get answer of yours question thanks

Regards Lybrate user. Pain in the shoulder & left arm may occur due to referred pains from neck, heart, at times stomach. If there is pain or limitation of movements in the neck and if the neck pain worsens proportionately with the shoulder/arm pain, they both could be related. Body structures around the shoulder itself may at times refer pain down the arm up to the wrist/hand. If shoulder movements are painful and/or limited, along with worsening of pain down the arm/forearm, then it could be related. Pain from the heart may also radiate to the same area. However, pain from heart will occur with activity when heart has to work more (for example climbing stairs, or jogging or lifting any weight). Rarely, heart related pains may occur even at rest or at sleep as well. It matters to find the symptoms and try to relate them logically to know which structures could be causing the disorder. It is recommended to consult an orthopaedician or orthopaedic physiotherapist for further evaluation. You may feel free to reach out to us for a virtual consult as well. You may use doctor code as drc221.

Pain on breathing, localized to the right side is most probably due to; musculoskeletal pain. Which can be resolved with use of paracetamol. However a detailed examination to rule out lung diseases are required. This is not an indication for heart related problems: cardiac problems are more likely associated with pain on exertion, which goes away with taking rest. It is mostly seen on central chest and to the left side, with pain radiating to the left upper arm, jaws, shoulder or back.
