Back Pain With Third Degree Heart Block

Posted , 4 users are following.

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.
