Hi: I'm curious, is the pain only in your left arm no other symptoms?

[Anthony1234567]

i was simaler to you I kept getting left side chest and arm pain you always think it's something serious but trust me it's your anxiety playing mind tricks the more you think it's something serious the more your going to worry yourself! I was exactly like you! Always Think to yourself it's just anxiety!

I do have the same pain for the last several months.

It's in the shoulder and muscle of the left arm.

I over do everything. Very active. Even though I'm right handed, I do many

things with my left arm. I'm not afraid because I know it is not my heart.

I will be seeing my Rheumatologist soon to have it addressed. There are

muscle/tendon issues that can come on as well as arthritis.

I would say unless you have other symptoms accompanying this pain, the ER

is not going to be able to do that much since it is not an emergency.

Of course should other symptoms appear please don't hesitate to go. xx

I’m a heart patient that has gone to the ER many times of the fear that the pain/symptoms I was experiencing was not from anxiety. I would apologize to the ER staff when it turned out it wasn’t my heart, but they would tell me not to apologize and I did the right thing by going and always take my symptoms seriously. We only have one heart. If you can, get clearance that your heart is ok. Right now,what you have is a lot of unanswered questions. When you get those questions answered, the less you’ll have to worry about.
