What Could Be Wrong If Child Has Pain And Pricking Sensation In Left Arm, Hot Flashes And Chest Pains?

My 14 year old son had an episode a week ago that started with pain in his left arm then quickly went to him feeling very hot,weak and his heart was racing.In the past week or two he's had more chest pains and both of his arms he described as pins and needles.The ER doc wasn't listening and kept saying it was a sports injury,he was doing homework when this happened and the other times was watching a show.I'm not sure what's going on.

Hi

A patient having pricking sensation in the left arm, hot flashes and chest pains is usually a candidate of Angina. Still only a thorough ECG, 2D-Echo and CVS examination can confirm the diagnosis.

We suggest you to consult another doctor and get the work up done, if everything is clear then you can be worry free and believe what your earlier ER doctor said, if not, you can consult a heart specialist or a general physician for further workup.

Earlier you do this, better it will be .

Hope to have informed you sufficiently.
