After these random incidents the swelling decreses a little back to normal but you can still notice that its swollen,cold, heavy. PLEASE RESPOND ASAP!
From the information given, I feel that you get transient episodes of blockage of the returning blood vessels (called veins) of your right arm. The blockage is commonly due to recurrent formation of a blood clot/fat embolism in the veins, compression by a ballooning (called aneurysm) of an adjacent artery in the neck region, a growth or even an extra rib.
You may discuss your case with the doctor, who will evaluate you, keeping the given possibilities in mind.
