Suggest Remedy For Stabbing Pain In Arm And Chest, Numb Fingers While Being On Medication For High BP

I have been experiencing stabbing pains in my upper left arm for quite some time now & sometimes there is also similar stabbing pain in left side of chest with this, I have also had some numbness in fingers & a heavy sensation in the left arm with this on occasion. I also suffer from High Blood Pressure & currently take medication for this. Any advice would be appreciated!! Thanks. Tania.

Hi,
If you are elderly then this problem is very likely due to pinched nerve or irritation of nerves due to cervical spondilitis.
Go for x-ray cervical region.
Consult orthopedic surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
