What Causes Left Sided Chest Pain Radiating To Arm?
I have recurring mild pain in the upper left part of the chest, sometimes radiates to left arm; this pain can be reproduced at a few pressure points. I also experience a sensation that I originally thought were heart palpitations, but I'm not so sure now. It is almost like a burping / excess gas or something is contracting in the upper respiratory area for a split second. I did have several heart tests: EKG (several), stress, ultrasound (twice); went to a cardiologist. All tests came back negative.
