Muscle pain
Wasn't sure where to post this. About two months ago I started lifting weights and exercising to get back into shape. I am 5'3" and 250lbs. I am not flabby, just heavy. I noticed after a month that my left shoulder was hurting. Now the muscles in my left arm are aching and tingling pretty much all the time. I don't have any other symptoms (shortness of breath, chest pain, dizziness etc.) My wife started massaging my shoulder and found a big knot that is very painful. I am trying to figure out if I need to see a doctor for the the left arm pain or is it caused by the knot. I also noticed that very rarely I have been sitting on couch and my upper body starts tingling and my heart rate jumps from about 75 to 126 for 5-10 sec then goes back to normal quickly. Sorry for the long post, any advice would be appreciated.
Yes, I think you need to see your doctor.
You could have separate issues - a muscle/shoulder issue and a cardiac issue, but you definitely need to get both checked out.
There are a number of minor cardiac conditions that could be causing the irregular heart beats, but you need to get that checked. It could indicate something more than minor, too.

Get it checked, though. Let us know how it goes. :)
