Pain in right upper right arm

I have extensive long standing heart problems. I know that if you experience pain in your left arm it could be indicative of a heart attack. But what about pain in the right arm? Has anyone experienced this? Thank you.

If in doubt then seek help ASAP. If it coincides with chest pain and/or pain in the jaw then 999. If you have time to explore the possibilities then a call to the BHF Helpline or 111. Otherwise seek further advice/help from your GP.

When I had my HA I didn't have half the symptoms on "the list" though I did have a few, so the diagnosis was real shock. I went to hopsital with just those few and caught it early, so get yourself checked out at once.

I hope it is s false alarm, there no shame in that and it may promote positive lifestyle changes.
