My mum has emphysema and angina for past few days she has had aching in the tops of her right and left arms? |
now that has gone the aching is in her back im so worried ,i have made an appointment with her dr on thursday do u think this is due to angina more than emphysema Honey my mom also has emphysema. She started having pain in her arm & shoulder so she went to the E.R. She ended up having to have angioplasty because the pain was being caused by a major blockage in 3 of her coronary arteries. I would not wait. It's better to be safe than sorry. Women experience symptoms of heart related problems differently than men. If she has a serious coronary problem, Thursday may be too late. hospital NOW Has your mum been taking her GTN spray? and if so has this relieved the pain? I would say take her to A & E, its not worth the risk of waiting for the doctor. Angina pain can radiate in many places including the jaw, neck arms back and stomach. However as previous answers state it may be due a clot or an irregular heart beat. Get it checked and it will give u and your mum peace of mind if it isnt serious. Take care get her to a doctor asap, don't wait. Give your mum an asprin too as it thins the blood a little so if there is a blockage in her heart it will help so much. If not it won;t do her any harm. If it is her heart the asprin will limit an damage. god bless |
