Concern appropriate: important factors that can help lead to an answer to this concern are your age, family history, other problems such as hypertension, diabetes, any prior cardiac or vascular disease.

Checkup: although this is possibly heart related, it seems to be forearm related; nonetheless, go to your doctor and get an EKG as well as an examination and xray of your forearm. Worrying will only increase your palptitiations, which should also be checked. you may need medication for anxiety.
