Hi I hope you can help me. For some time now i have had problems with chest pain. I have been to the ER and everywhere inbetween and was always told the
same thing A typical chest pain and was told ro learn to live with it.I wasnt happy with the results but i accepted it. I finally talked my doctor into sending me for a
echo and all that was found with this test was Mild Mitral Valve Regurgitation.
Now here is my question.....Since a little while before the chest pain I have been having a problem with my left arm. From the shoulder , arm pit down to usualy my
elbo my arm goes really weak sometimes my fingers will tingle. It feels almost the way a chlds leg feels at night when they are told they have growing pains. I was
realy consernd for a while because some times this would happen as i was having the chest pain wich immedeatly made me think i was having a heart attack.
Since i was going to the doctor with this chest pain that he has no answer for I guess he thinks its in my head..he now does not take my complaint of my arm
seriously. I will admit that the chest pain has turned me into a slight hypochondriac but that was only because they could not find a reason for the pain. But i do know
my own body and i know when something doesnt feel right. Do you have any ideas or suggestion? ny help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
