Hi lulu :-) yes it's a very common issue with anxiety and it's a worrying one because it's our left arm. Natural thought process left arm pain heart issues. Hope you are feeling better and a little relaxed now

I suffer from tachycardia too I take beta blockers and a water tablet which helps with my high blood pressure. Just had 5 months off work and doing a phased return but got great help from mindfulness and meditation downloaded from the internet we all need to learn to relax then the anxiety won't bother us so much. Easier said than done but it's worth trying to stop this horrible thing beating us xxxx

I have experienced this before too, thought I was having a heart attack it was so scary! I had CBT counselling to help with my anxiety a few months ago and one of the things that helped was this information...

calmclinic.com/anxiety/symp...

It helped put my mind at ease as I had a better understanding of the difference between severe panic attacks and a heart attack.

Hope this helps and remember you're not alone!! X

Hi Lulu, hope you're doing well. I came across someone who posted having a similar condition as you. His name is Michaelfalcone24. Maybe you guys can see if both of you can help one another if either one of you has a solution or answer to the arm pain you guys are having.
