What Causes Pins And Needles Under The Arms With Anxiety Attacks?

Dear Doctor, I have had anxiety for sometime now but I fear it may be more than anxiety now. Under my left arm I feel like needles are poking me the sensation comes and goes I dont know if it is normal for a 19 year old to feel this with anxiety. Also the left brast (male) has been getting bigger than my right so is my left arm. It use to be my right side was bigger. I dont have any blood thinning problems but is there a chance of this being a heart attack?

Hi dear.

I had gone through your query.

I understand your concern.

You are in much stress and require relaxation.

It is all anxiety symptoms and require treatment.

Anxiety symptoms mimic like heart attack.

But heart related problems can be ruled out by investigation like ECG and ECHO.

Consult physician for routine check up.

Anxiety can be treated with medicine like anxiolytic. Etizolam can be useful.

But ddo take advise from your treating doctor before taking this medicine.


Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Happy to help you further.
