A member asked:
Repeated striking sharp pain in the left forearm and left chest simultaneously for the past 3 months.

ER can evaluate: A middle-aged adult with left chest and left arm pain symptoms may actually have a heart problem, so usually goes to the ER to be evaluated. That means not waiting at home to see if it becomes a chest pain heart issue. It could turn out to be a lung problem, a bone or muscle problem, a nerve problem, or an acid reflux problem, but a heart attack would be bad.
