Sometimes it's to the left or right of it, or on the opposite side of my chest but mainly on my left side.
If I had TOS I suspect it's Neurogenic. But can that cause these symptoms with the heart pain, shoulder pain, armpit pain and finger pain?

I hope the Dr sees that I need a specialist and won't drag things out.

I too get that throat discomfort as well and I try to drink water to ease it. Just slow steady sips. Sometimes it helps and sometimes not.

By the way I am 32 years old and have ben smoking for 16 years..I know! Bad! I am working on cutting back to quit and so far so good. I will be moving to a new place where there is no smoking indoors so I have a better chance of quitting.
