Suggest Treatment For Muscle Pain In Left Arm
I am 63 years now. Underwent a angioplasty 5 years back and under medicines since then and undergo periodic check up with the cardiologists. It was going well after each check up.The medicines I take are clopivas Ap-75, Avas 30, natrilix 10, minipress 5, cilacar 10 for controlling BP, cholestrol etc. Since the last one month a muscle pain is developing in my left arm ( location changes from armpit to down elbow and further below. The pain is not there or rather disappear if I lie down for sometime. Hence during sleep there is no issue. The problem is seen in day time when I am active. The pain is irritating. Why this pain and let me know what I need to do.

Hello,
You are already having blood pressure and other cardiac problems along with high cholesterol. Having pain in left arm is not a symptom that you should ignore. Pain in heart is sometimes referred to left arm and even on the left side of jaw.
You should see a cardiologist and go for ECG as soon as possible. The disappearance of pain while you rest and increase when you are active are all typical symptoms of angina pain. The doctor might need to change the doses of some medicines or add/change some after ECG.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.
