Should I go to hospital?

I have been having pains in my neck and under my collar bone on the left side.  today I started having pain in my upper (inner) arm and leg on my left side.  I have been having heartburn a lot lately for no reason.  I am not sure if I am over thinking this or if I should go to the hospital.  I don't have the money to waste on the ER if it's nothing possibly.

You appear to have two "chief complaints", one of which is probably due to reflux disease, treated, as doctornee stated with omeprazole, and the other issue may involve a pinched nerve in the spinal column, which will be revealed by an MRI.

All things being equal, this is a case for an inexpensive in-person clinic appointment, not an ER visit.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Walking around also helps clear gas. If it does not help, consult a doctor immediately. Take care!
