I have been experiencing strange pain in my chest, left shouder, left side of neck and left leg. Does anyone know if this is heart related? :confused:

It very well could be. You need to get it checked out right away!

sounds like you have angina. Does it hurt when you are not excercising? or at rest? That info would help. I could probably help you with some info if you give me some more info. Thanks

"Left leg" is the oddball in that scenario. Did you have a fall recently?

Does it sound heart-related? Yes, but it also sounds stomach-related, muscle-related, or pretty much anything-in-that-area-related.

There are an endless amount of causes for chest pain, and you won't know how serious or benign yours is unless you get it check out by a physician.

Lenin the left leg thing may actually be a possibility of a problem with the heart. After I had my stent and bypass I had coronary artery spasms that would cause me to have a rhythmic pain that would start on the left side of my chest and go down my left arm and left leg. It would keep spasming in a rhythmic pattern. I have questioned other people to see if they've had left leg pain along with angina and I've only heard of a few people.

NineLives,

Excuse the apparent simplicity of this question, but they didn't harvest the blood vessels they needed for your bypass from your left leg did they.
(Remember, I apologized before asking that silly question.:D:D:D)

No not a silly question and no need for an apology! They actually used the mammary artery only because I had a single bypass so I can't attribute the pain to a leg incision.
And I do understand why you questioned me about that because there is nothing that I've ever read in any literature about left leg pain being heart related. I'm speaking strictly from experience. I no longer have that pain because I'm no longer have coronary artery spasms.
