Q: Feels like I havepinched nerve on my left back side causing some pain under my arm all the way to my fingers. Then I got an enormous sensation of veins burning. What could it be?

I go see a chiropractor for my spinal cord misalignment and recently i have been feeling a pinched nerve on my left shoulder pain that seems to run under my left arm all the way to my fingers. I was walking the dog and every now and then i feel that pinched nerve when all of a sudden a huge feeling of burning veins that came from my left side to my right side, and lasted about a minute or two. I do suffer from anxiety but i under medication. I also have indigestion problems.

Hi Esmi,

 

I encourage you to see your physician about this issue and ask about getting an MRI if the diagnosis is not obvious to the physician. While it does not sound like a cardiac related issue, it could still be something more serious with a nerve, joint or bone and should be treated if possible. And, since cardiac symptoms can be different for different people, it would be good to rule out any possible heart issues.

 

Best of luck,

Monica M. Skidmore, MS, RD

Monica, I really appreciate your quick response because I was starting to worry a lot.  I was trying to avoid going to the ER so I can go my doctor tomorrow.  Your response calmed me down and now I feel a bit more comfortable to wait till tomorrow.  Thank you soooo much.
