A member asked:
What is the location of the shoulder and arm that a heart attack causes pain?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Unanswerable: In men this is a pain, or numbness that moves from the chest into the shoulder and then down the arm. There is not one specific spot that has to have pain. And, on the flip side the lack of symptoms in the arm does not rule out a heart attack. Not sure what keeps prompting this question about the arm when in men a heart attack is a multitude of symptoms not just arm symptoms alone.
