Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a twenty year old man, i have been recently getting a cramping feeling in my left arm, as if someone is digging their fingers into the muscle. I sometimes get a rapid heartbeat but subsides after an hour. I dont know whether this is stress or i have something wrong with my heart. Please help!!
I've read your query and I understand your concern
I would like to tell you heart problem generally in young age is unlikely to happen until unless you have a very strong cardiac family history.
It's advisable for you to take anti anxiety meds like alprazolem for sometime but this medicine is not available over the counter. So, you have to go to a doctor for written prescription.
Hopefully I answered your query. Wish You Good Luck
