A member asked:
Are arm and chest pains associated with pituitary tumors?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not commonly: These are not common symptoms of pituitary tumors...But they could occur if the tumor is producing too much thyroid or adrenal (cortisol) hormones. When someone complains of arm or chest pain, we worry more about the heart or lung rather than the pituitary.

No: The centers for the sensation and movement of the arms and legs are not anywhere near where the pituitary gland is in the brain.
