What Causes Sudden Pain In The Chest And Arm?
I need to know if I need to get checked out in the ER...For the past couple of days, I have had a pain come and go in the upper left side of my chest and when it comes, my arm has pains shot down it and then goes numb. I have been getting short of breath pretty easily. Just going up the stairs gets me winded and I have never been that way before. Do I need to go get checked?

Hello and thank you for answering in HCM.
Despite your clinical situation you need to do some test as:
EKG
CARDIAC ULTRASOUND
Troponin,CK-MB
Stress test
CHEST X Ray
TSH
maybe a chest CT
The first step is to exclude cardiac origin of the pain than the lungs and if they are all negative may stomach problems like reflux by doing a fibrogastroscopy.
And then you can take the wright treatment from the specialist.
