left arm pain when out of breath

[Snowangel1969]

Hello I hope someone here can help. I’m 54 year old woman. Every time I go for a walk and I loose my breath I get quite bad pain down left arm. This only happens if I’m excercising and get out of breath.

I have got very high cholesterol from an eating disorder I have.

I have a 11 year old boy and I’m scared it’s a heart attack coming.

I went to the doctor 2 years ago with it. They gave me a 24 hour monitor. But I didn’t excercise enough and didn’t get the pain .

This ONLY happens when I’m out of breath .

Any ideas ?

Thank you all xx

yes indeed Snowangel and I think you need to be checked out again by a medical professional.

But first, maybe ring the British Heart Foundation and talk to a specialist nurse. You can accès this by going to their website.

I had the monitor, but this only shows rhythm problems. It was only when I got an MRI that this showed why I was getting abnormal breathing when cycling.

Please do not delay getting advice from a medical professional. I had warning signs that I put down to “indigestion” but in hindsight this was probably angina. I had a heart attack at 51. Get checked out asap.
