What Causes A Sharp Pain In The Left Arm And Chest?

A couple days ago I noticed very unusual sharp pain in my left arm and it hurt very bad. It went away, but now I ve had very sharp pain in my chest today. It feels like a pulled muscle and it hurts when I swallow, eat, drink, or even move in a certain way. I m starting to get very scared. Any ideas of what might be wrong?

Hello,
Any pain in left side chest with radiation in left arm should not be ignored and treated with emergency.You should go to heart specialist and get your ECG. If there is any heart problem then you start treatment with blood pressure medicines. Also some time you might need 2d echo. I hope this answer will be useful for you.
