    Left arm pain

    Hello- I have been having shooting pains down my left arm for a day or two now. I have some heart beat and heart irregularities, so anything heart related makes me nervous. Would arm pain from an impending heart attack be achy and consistent or more shooting like I am having?

    Re: Left arm pain

    My experience was debilitating pain in my chest along with left jaw pain and extreme pain radiating down my arm from my armpit. if you're at an age where you should be concerned along with risk factors such as smoking, overweight, cholesterol issues etc., then I would see a doctor. Of course, you are posting on an anxiety website and again from my experience, if you were in real distress you wouldn't be here waiting for reassurance. NOTE: I'm not a doctor, just someone sharing my experience.

    What someone told me on this board is if you are able to post you're not having a heartattack.

    Yes, very true. I just know sometimes there can be clues of impending heart attack, like arm pain, etc. I am in my 30s, non smoker, but I do have some heart issues, so it’s always a concern of mine. I think it just helps to have others talk me off the ledge 😊
