Can Pain In Arm With Swelling Be Related To Heart Problem?
I have a question. My left arm has been hurting me these past couple days, moderate pain. I feel as though there is not enough blood circualtion going through and it may be a little swallown. I was wondering if this could be a heart related issue or something else ?
This isn't looking like cardiac problem, it's more of cervical problem. Still one ECG should be done just to rule out heart problem. It can be cervical pain, due to compression of nerves between spine. Does this pain increases on neck movement, is it associated with tingling, numbness in arm or any neck trauma, if yes then it supports the diagnosis. Then he will need x cervical spine AP/ Lat view and further may need MRI. Till the time he can have tab Neurobion forte which is a nerve vitamin.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards, Dr. Sagar Makode
