Question 3

what else causes both chest pain and left arm pain other than heart attack, costochonditis, and gerd? all of these have been ruled out for me.

Accepted Answer

Couple of questions: I think it might be helpful to know a bit more about the pain:
1. Is it in your entire left arm or only a part of it?
2. Is it present all the time? Or does it come and go? If it is NOT constant, what activity (if any) seems to bring it on?
3. Can you move your body in such a way that it makes the pain happen? Or that makes the pain better or worse?
