Go see your doctor: You're not bothering us. Our job is to help you get & stay healthy. It's not clear what's progressively worse w/left arm, neck & shoulder. Pain? Normal ekg isn't enough if you report severe nausea & shortness of breath w/gardening. How about other more strenuous activities? We think heart burn or ulcer if linked to meals but bigger concern is heart disease. Ask your doc about getting stress test.
