A member asked:
Why does pain from a myocardial infarction radiate to the neck and down the arm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sensory: The sensory fibers from the neck and arm go through the same nerve connections as the sensory fibers from the heart/lungs and the brain may have difficulty distinguishing where the problem is actually coming from.
