Marie,

 

First of all, it is important to speak with your doctor regarding your symptoms. There are many things that can cause radiating arm pain. Symptoms of a heart attack include crushing chest pain, sweating, nausea, and radiating pain in the jaw and arm. It is important to understand, that this is only a typical presentation. There are many symptoms that may or may not be present during a heart attack.

 

Another cause of arm pain can be a pinched nerve in the neck. This can occur when the discs between the vertrebrae in the spine slip out of place. It can press on a nerve and cause pain in the extremities.

 

It is important to speak with your doctor about these symptoms, and he/she can develop a plan to diagnose your problem and improve your well being.
