Question 1

left back and left hand pain, heart attack or carpal tunnel?

Accepted Answer

It varies: Symptoms of heart attack are classically crushing chest pain that radiates into the jaw and left arm.  Other symptoms can be back or arm/hand pain.  If you have any question whether you may be having a heart attack, you should immediately go to your nearest emergency department.  Carpal tunnel syndrome is related to compression of the median nerve in the wrist and is not a heart attack.

Question 2

i have left hand pain suddenly what is the reason? it's symptom for heart attack

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Classical pain of the heart attack is pain of the left chest radiating to the inside of the left shoulder and upper arm but not to the hand
There might be other causes of the pain and I would suggest to get it checked by the doctor to assess and manage accordingly

Question 3

how long does left  hand pain occurs for heart attack?and what wil be the time gap between them?

Accepted Answer

Referred: Pain to the upper arm occurs during episodes of ischemia, of course you want to seek medical attention right away, and exclude other causes of hand pain.

Question 4

is it possible to have a heart attack/stroke due to stress from extreme chronic bilateral hand pain?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Hand pain is not a cause of a heart attack or stroke. It can be a symptom but unlikely to be a cause.

Question 5

does left hand pain mean heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Heart attack: Left hand pain means left hand pain. Sometimes heart attack has left arm and pain associated with it. Left hand pain could be due to arthrits, trauma, infection and a myriad of non heart attack things..........

Question 6

does pain, pressure, burning in the heart, pain in the heart + shoulder, neck, and hand pain on the left side mean a heart attack, although in the begnning it was just a slight tingling and acceleration in the heartbeat?

Accepted Answer

: Even though there are other possible diagnosis for the symptoms you described, the list does include some classic symptoms of heart attack.

Question 7

my left shoulder down to my left elbow down to my left hand hurts and tingles. could i be getting ready to have a heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Unless you have significant risk factors, medical problems or family history of heart attacks at a young age, it is unlikely. Still i would speak with your doctor about this. Do you have neck problems? Pinched nerve would be much much more likely.

Question 8

my left arm is falling sleep and my left hand hurt for the pass three days and also have chills. are those symptoms of  a heart attack? i am 35

Accepted Answer

See a doctor now: This is not normal. I can't tell you what is wrong, but you should seek immediate evaluation and care by the most available means. I suggest you go to the emergency room without delay.

Question 9

i had a pains on the right hand side of my chest and i was bit worried cause someone told me it might the signs of heart attack.must i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Worried: I wouldn' t worry about a heart attack since you heart is located primarily on the left side

Question 10

i have pain type feeling in jaw lower right hand side. i doubt it's a heart attack but what else can cause it?

Accepted Answer

Sinus, teeth, etc.: A sinus infection, tooth inflammation, nerve pain from the oral or facial region. TMJ inflammation are considerations. At your age, a cardiac cause would be very unlikely. Jaw pain becomes more worrisome for cardiac reasons if accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, abnormal sweating, etc.
