What Causes Pressure In Arms?
I have pressure in my upper left arm that started about 10 am today. It feels like a blood pressure cuff. I was at doctors Thursday for my yearly checkup and nothing was wrong at that time. What can it be? I was putting on compression stockings on my left leg because I had vein laser surgery on Monday. I am worrying about this pressure in my arm.
