Left arm pain but no chest pain

2022-02-07 08:50:57
Hello docs! I want to know if heart attack can only cause left arm pain without chest pain? I do feel like little pain in left arm above back elbow area also sometimes the shoulder! Do i need to worry? Can a heart related pain be without chest pain and just arm pain? Thanks

Yes it can be. But your pain doesn't seem to be heart related. Heart pain is never localized. Get ECG ECHO TMT done to rule out heart related cause

The symptoms of heart attack varies. Commonly it's presents as chest pain radiating to either arm. Arm pain alone is unlikely the manifestation of heart attack.
