I have had two episodes in the past six months in which I experienced pressure between my shoulder blades followed by a stinging pain that traveled up my neck to my jawline, and then to my ears.  Both times the discomfort was very short in duration, although the second episode lasted longer than the first.  Could this be a heart problem? I am a 57-year-old female with no significant health history at all.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, these symptoms can be due to heart problems. After age of 50 years, possibility of heart disease is more because of atherosclerosis in coronary arteries. And your symptoms are commonly seen in coronary artery disease. So better to consult cardiologist and get done 1. Blood pressure monitoring 2. ECG 3. 2d echo 4. Stress test (trade mill test). 5. Coronary angiography (if required). Don't worry, with proper treatment, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
