I have been laying in bed propped up on a pillow for several hours..I started having a weird sharp pain underneath my right shoulder blade that seem to go through my chest.I wasn't breathless or nauseated or dizzy or anything just hurt for a few minutes and quit and then came back. and then I changed position layed sideways on my heart side and it stopped.My right arm which I use for clicking on the mouse felt like it was full of blood but not really uncomfortable.I checked my pulse and it was never over 85 but I had eaten not to long before.It soon went down to 76 and has pretty much stayed that way.I got up several times and walked around and now its not really bothering me .I just wondered that it says under heart attack or stroke you can have back pain ..Did I have a heart attack and not know it or stroke? I seem to feel ok but its 251 am where I live ,im tired but nothing unusual.Is it possible that it was just from laying in that position and its nothing or could it be a heartat

From your description it sounds like nothing. But a short description online is not enough to give advice about somthing like this nor am I a DR. If your concerned you need to go to the hospital ASAP for tests.

If you have any concerns that you are having a heart attack or a stroke you need to either go to your doctor or the emergency room immediately. The quicker the problem is evaluated by a doctor, the better the chances for recovery, and for pain relief.
Pain is your body's way of telling you that something is wrong.
There are the classic symptoms of heart attack, which is pain in the center of the chest or over the heart, but some people have heart attacks and have pain in the shoulder, back or jaw (to name a few). You can have a heart attack without being short of breath, sweating or nauseated. There are even "silent" heart attacks that occur with little or no symptoms.

if you feel fine now and have no further problems seems there was no great problem..but i would mention it to the doctor when next you visit..if it happens again go see about it straight away sometimes people have what is called TIAs small strokes that last from a few seconds to up to an hour, you can have back pain with angina, always pays to get checked out..we only have one life it depends how much you value it as to how soon you get help when you are ill.waiting for an answer here can be dangerous

Your left hand usually gets numb or pains a lot. You could have just had an anxiety attack. But I would definitely go see a doctor.
