Pain up left arm into chest?

Is there anything this could mean other than a heart attack? I get a pain starting in my left middle finger going uP to my elbow then into my chest. Kind of like a crushing pain. It's hard to describe. I am only 27, isn't that too young to have a heart attack?

Sometimes I also get the pain in my chest with out the finger and elbow pains.

    You're never too young to have a heart attack, so it could be a small one. However this is unlikely. My better guess would be Angina as it has exactly the symptoms you're describing. If you have this you should really go to your local doctor to get some form of medication. Good luck!

    You're never too young to have a heart attack. I'm fifteen and we've thought I was having a heart attack millions of times with the same symptoms as you're having. Mine was just anxiety, though.

    hi Stephen. you will get a sort of techniques, so indexed indexed under are mine. First, i might desire to rule out a hiatal hernia. Hiatal hernias are organic with weight issues (with a BMI of 28, you're obese) and that they are able to reason the indicators you're experiencing. 2nd, an unlikely in spite of the incontrovertible fact that very serious talents reason is a pheochromocytoma - a sort of adrenal gland tumor. An assessment by an endocrinologist might desire to be appropriate for you. 0.33, chemical sensitivities can effect in any and/or your complete indications. you will might desire to confirm a expert in environmental therapy to learn this probability. ultimately, something is occurring. this is to not your head. Frankly, this is professionally immature (unethical!) to throw the "stress - anxiousness" head holiday at a sufferer purely provided that the physician's undemanding lab checks come back popular. There are incredibly hundreds and hundreds of talents components of alerts/indications that regularly occurring lab checks do not learn. A able enterprise might desire to be uncomplicated and clarify that they weren't waiting to learn the rationalization of your catch 22 situation - it incredibly is a very unique function than blaming the sufferer for the physician's inadequacies. ideal desires and properly stable fortune.
