Q: Chest and Arm Pain
asked by: Platebanger1 on January 2nd, 2009

Hello,

I am a 21 year old male. I am 5'9" and 195 lbs. I have had a pain in my left elbow that almost feels like a strain. It hurts to fully extend it. Along with that, for a couple of days there was a sharp pain deep in my upper left arm, and an occassional small throbbing ache in my left hand. I had an EKG done a couple of months ago and that came back great. A couple of times a day, I am also getting a slight pain on top of my shoulder and just below my shoulder blade. I am also getting slight chest pains. I have been diagnosed with Acid Indigestion and and Reflux. The chest pains are on the left side close to the center of my chest. They are very small. My left chest, back, and arm have also felt sort of dull. I am not sure if this is all in my head, or if it is stress related, but any info would be greatly appreciated.
