[|Human|] I am a female 69yo. On Jul 12 had a sudden sharp chest pain on left side that woke me up at 6am. Lasted around 15 min or more. Felt discomfort and some pain on left upper arm. Did not check time. Today have sharp pain on my upper left back side (never before) and some shortness of breath, but am asthmatic(had some asthma days ago and used proair and advair). Have lower back problems. Have been using celecoxib for osteoarthritis. Am a medical technologist and know heart symptoms are diff in women. Don t know if this is anxiety attack or is nothing. Should I wait to see if this goes away?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, you should not wait. You should immediately consult doctor and get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test) to rule out cardiac chest pain. After the age of 60, people are more prone for heart diseases. So get done these tests. If all these are normal then your symptoms are mostly due to anxiety and panic disorder. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
