Question 1

Accepted Answer

Left arm pain: Given age likely non cardiac cause BUT need a formal diagnosis. Anxiety is a diagnosis of exclusion.

Question 2

what could be wrong if my left arm pain but no chest pain?

Accepted Answer

Pain: Left arm pain doesn't need to relate to the heart. In fact more commonly it is due to neck or shoulder problems which are felt in the arm.

Question 3

if one has left arm pain but no chest pain, could it be heart related still?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, the symptoms of cardiac disease can be quite variable, particularly in women.  Patients can definitely have even serious cardiac events with little or no chest pain.  A detailed exam and appropriate studies can usually determine the cause, cardiac or otherwise.  Consider being checked.

Question 4

left arm pain & heaviness. no chest pain. still able to do everyday tasks with arm, just a heavy feeling. also have health anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Not typical angina: This could be a heart problem without chest pain. Self diagnosis is not a good idea even for a doctor like me. If you don't have a primary physician, then now you know why it would be a good idea to have one. An EKG and some blood tests plus a good examination can answer this for you.

Question 5

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Bad choice: Believe my colleagues here would all fear possible heart disease, and episodes of angina as the best explanation.  There is risk of impending heart attack.  Get her to see a doctor asap.  This could be life threatening!

Question 9

Accepted Answer

: It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor to see if you may be depressed. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Question 10

Accepted Answer

: If your heart tests are normal then your symptoms are from GAD. let your doc be aware of your symptoms and treat you. Hope you do well
