Have a pain that starts off sharp pain on left side of torso under armpit then radiates down arm could this be heart related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: The pain you describe is highly probable to be musculoskeletal pain related to a nerve that runs where you describe. The heart could be the cause but it is far less likely to be so.
