Tightening Of Muscles, Feels Like Muscles Being Pulled. Reason?

The muscles on the back of my arms start to tighten real bad from my shoulder to my elbows and then across my back and then across my chest. It feels like my muscles are being pulled downward it does recede in pain in about 3-5 min.. I have seen a doctor about two days ago as I went into emergency I thought I was having a heart attack. He checked my heart and said it was fine but he was puzzled with my symptoms and sent me home with Tylenol 3 and told me to report to my doctor in the morning which I did. An he confirmed the other doctor. But I still get this problem do you have any ideas?

Hi, thank you for posting at Health Care Magic.

I think that you suffer from Spine Spondiliartroza(the part of neck and the part of thoracic). The pain starts from your neck and spine and then it across to arms and shoulders. To prove it you need an x-ray of spine. The treatment should be with non-steroidal. The most common is Meloxycam 7.5mg(a pill a day) because it is a medicine with low side effects.

You need to contact a neurologist.
