A member asked:

Pain in upper arm, between elbow and shoulder, reoccurs every 5 minutes, been happening for 2 days, no other heart attack symptoms, and i'm only 16.??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arm pain: multiple causes: is this left arm pain? If not associated with chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness or collapse- probably not heart related; however, arm pain needs a checkup and exam.
