Can left arm pain all the way down mean possible heart attack?

It can...: Left arm pain, especially in association with chest pain, can mean a heart attack. This is especially so if you also have shortness of breath, nausea, sweating, and dizziness. But there are lots of causes of left arm pain. If it persists, you should see your doctor. Feel better!
