Hi all,

I've posted before about my son's heart blcok, but he's now complaining of back pain alongside the chest pain (which has already been checked out)

He's on the waiting list for a pacemaker.

Does anyone know if back pain is something I should be concerned about please?

Thanks

    yes, I would be concerned if its in his upper back. That is where a lot of my heart pain comes from, although I am a woman and our heart symptoms are different than most males. 3rd degree heart block? I would let his doctors know.

    Back pain can be associated with heart problems. Never be afraid to contact your doctor over your concerns as its always best to ask.
