left arm pain

[fourtwenty]

Hi,

I'm a 35 year old, and my father recently passed away. Ever since then ive been having a shooting pain through my left arm, which never used to happen to me. I wonder if anyone can give me advice on this? im hoping its not signs of a heart attack....

Thanks,
420

it could also be a trapped nerve if no other symptoms

do you sit on computer for any length of time?

I agree that it is muscular and postural

Shooting pains might a sore never?
Are you typing a lot, or doing any sort of activity with your arm?
Maybe you've been sleeping funny?

If it was your heart you'd be getting other symptoms, the pain hasn't changed, might be stress and tensing your muscles.

Of course there's no harm in seeing your doctor if you're very worried.
