Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

I think it is just a traumatic pain that is causing you to have those symptoms. The nerve sends a lot of these pain signals to the mind when the injury is bad.

Since the nerves supplying the arm also supply nerves to the shoulder chest and the jaw, the brain sometimes perceives this pain as coming from these areas as well. So I dont think you need to worry, just wait for the injury to settle.

However since the distribution is typical to a cardiac event, I would suggest you test an EKG just to be on the safer side.

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.

I have given you the answer to the maximum considering the information provided. The results of the tests could further enhance my answer to you.

Please do understand that some details could be extracted from a detailed history and examination.

Please feel free to ask another query. I would be glad to help you. Looking forward to your return query with the details asked so that I can help you further.
(If the answer has helped you, please indicate this)
Best of luck.
