I'm booked in for thursday at the docs :/
I did go to the docs straight away - I would've called an ambulance but the pain went away. I'm just scared cause it keeps coming back , I'll get myself back to the doctors and hope it doesn't come back in the mean time.
Its also in my right arm, It felt so strong I considered a heart attack or even stroke but I never got any results from the doctor but I will go back and ask for an angina test.
Thank you for your quick response and advice, what actualy is angina and what causes it? and can it be treated?????
Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If it is the left arm and the pain comes and goes in bouts, you could be having angina. You need a 12 lead EKG, tread mill test, ECHO and angiogram for complete heart evaluation and must see a cardiologist. At times right arm pain too could be due to heart attack.
Other than this it can be a pinched nerve in neck or shoulder area and you need nerve conduction tests and MRI of neck for diagnosis.
Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined immediately for angina. Take care!
have you had you heart checked sometimes this can be a symptom of a heart attack
