Could Squeezing Feeling In Arm Be A Sign Of Heart Attack?
My husband is having a squeezing in his left arm and a tingling, but not having any chest pain. Earlier today he felt sick to his stomach. Do you think this could be a sign of a stroke or heart attack even when not hurting in his chest. He has diabetes and has had ablation to his heart from heart being in a fib . Has high blood pressure.

hi,
u forgot to mention the age of patient.
looking at aboe details he is at risk of developing heart related issues.
heart attack generally presents a pain in middle or left chest which radiates to left hand neck or even upper back.there can be other forms of presentation.tingling in left hand with htn diabetes fibrillatin raises a suspicion.
so approach your doctor ASAP and get ekg and other necessary workup.
