Hello,
With the question “What is the disease in the left chest pain spreading to the back, choking on the neck? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You have angina in the left chest and the pain spreads to the back. The feeling of pain behind is very tight, in front of the chest is a sharp pain with a feeling of fullness in the neck. Often posterior pain is a sign of aortic disease, anterior chest pain with a feeling of tightness can sometimes confuse heart disease with gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Aortic disease, if present, is often dangerous and the pain seems quite uncomfortable, you should see a Cardiologist soon. The doctor will order blood tests, electrocardiogram, ultrasound, chest X-ray, maybe even an ultrasound of the neck, even CT if needed to diagnose aortic system disease, the doctor will also ask about the disease and examine it. carefully to consider whether a gastroscopy is needed.
If you still have questions about left chest pain, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
