A member asked:

Is ischemic arm pain typically felt on one side of the arm or the other? outside or inside or armpit?

Dr. Payam Mehranpour answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine - Cardiology

Arm: If you are referring to ischemia in the arm itself, the pain would be the entire affected area. However if you're referring to cardiac pain radiating to the rm, it could be either side however it's often the inner left arm.
