Upper Body Pain
Arm and Shoulder Pain
Pain that radiates to your arms, shoulders, or back can be a sign of a heart attack, especially if it’s unexplained and not related to physical injury. This type of pain can occur suddenly and without warning, indicating possible heart muscle stress or damage that needs immediate medical evaluation.
Neck and Jaw Pain
Discomfort in the neck or jaw, often associated with chest pain, can also indicate a heart problem. Post-COVID-19, it’s important to monitor any unusual pain in these areas, as it could point to cardiac complications rather than lingering viral symptoms, necessitating immediate medical evaluation to ensure heart health.
