What Causes Mild Chest Pain With Itching On Left Hand?

I have mild chest pain now for a week. My body for some reason feels like I have a lot of gas but nothing comes out I felt like this for quite some time. I'm scared that's it going to be a heart attack I'm only 24 years old. Also my nerves in my left arm have been feeling funny too burn and itching in the whole arm. Is this all related.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello!

Thank you for asking on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that your symptoms seem not to be caused by any cardiac disorder.

Anxiety or indigestion may be the cause of this clinical scenario.

I recommend you to perform a routine blood test, kidney and liver function tests, a chest x ray, an abdominal ultrasound to exclude other causes.

Regarding your arm, I would recommend you to perform a cervical column x ray for a possible radiculopathy and a nerve conduction study, to examine your nerves.

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings! Dr. Iliri
