Specializes in Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Be checked: Go the ER for assessment. You may have an abnormal rhythm that is causing your pain. They check your vital signs and may order an EKG, CXR and blood work. All the best and hope you are OK.

I'm having nagging pain in the tricep, bicep area of right arm. Hard to get to sleep some nights. Now I also notice a slight twinge in left side of chest at times when I take big inhale breath, not consistent. Seems heart issues can relate to arm?

For around 4 days, but my left chest, left foot, and left arm have been weak or tight or numb, and sometimes I get lightheaded, and I find myself burping 3-4 times when drinking anything like water. My average heart beat is 110 bpm and it beats hard.
