I have discomfort sometime which starts in the shoulders/arms and/or upper back. It's almost like the discomfort starts on one side and is like a wave traveling from one side to the other. I feel kinda tired/exhausted afterwards. Last from 1 to 2 minutes usually and then gone. Only occurs every month or two. Seems more likely to occur when I have not had a good night's rest.
Q: Discomfort sometimes - starts in the shoulders/arms and/or upper back.

Hi wadet,
You should contact your physician or go to the emergency room if you haven't already. Your symptoms may or may not be heart related. Here is a link to information on symptoms related to heart disease:
