What Causes Burning In Chest And Left Arm/neck?
Hello. I have a burning in my chest, up my left side of neck and my left arm feels funny..my hand tingling. On Tuesday I went to the ER for severe chest pain in heart (that is what it felt like). It wasn t crushing but it was in heart and down arm, I was nauseated and very anxious. EKG was normal don t know what blood results were. I m 43 with Celiac as well. I m scared now. Nobody seems to take this seriously. thank you.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
Since you have normal ECG, in my opinion you may have either muscular pain or GERD,as a cause for your chest pain.
So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in muscular pain.
1. Avoid heavy weight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Take good painkiller and muscle relaxant.
4. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
For GERD ( Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease ) avoid hot and spicy food. Take proton pump inhibitor. Avoid stress and anxiety.
