A member asked:
Does pain in left arm necessarily mean a heart attack ? or is it pain like any other pain likely to go away after sometime?

Not necessary : At 21y/o without risk factor i doubt it's a heart problem. Possibly muscle pain. But you should consult your doctor to find out.

No: Arm pain can be from anything in the arm. Heart pain can radiate to the arm but the arm is not restricted like arthritis etc!
