A member asked:
Can anyone tell what left arm pain related to a cardiac event might typically feel like? and when is left arm pain suspicious of a cardiac event?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: The pain is usually a deep ache - poorly localized in the shoulder or upper left arm on the backside. If you put a tourniquet around your arm and leave it you will develop pain similar in nature.
