I Have Some Electric Shock In My Left Arm Ocassionally. Is This A Nerve Problem Or A Heart Problem?

I have some electric shock in my left arm ocassionally. Is this a nerve problem or a heart problem? This happens sometimes after two years and some times after five years. I had an accident 25 years ago. When I came out of the car I felt a sharp pain in my left arm as if the arm was broken. However I did not have any physical wounds. I had this sensation recently after 7 year lasting about 3 seconds.

Sounds like you have some nerve damage due to the car accident. I doubt its your heart. Are u having any other symptoms such as chest pain or nausea? Any pain in your jaw or back? If you are worried about this, go to the doctors. Women have different symptoms of heart attack then men, assuming your a women. Good luck.
