Chest and left arm pain....

Hi everyone my names Bernie ,

So today I started getting a left arm pain with some chest pain as we'll . Blood work , echo, EKG all came back good . Blood work came back that I was low on vitamin D and my blood pressure was 135/90. I'm going this Tuesday to get a stress test done but in the mean time anyone feeling the symptoms I'm feeling? I am taking 5,000mg vitamin d and also taking by stolid for my Bp. Thank you all

I have chest pain from anxiety and it also goes into my arm. It even goes into my jaw which makes my anxiety worse and therefore makes my pains worse. Having all the test you did, is a good thing. For me that eases my mind a bit. I'm no doctor so make sure you finish up all your tests, but hope it helps to know that yes I get chest and arm pain too. Best wishes to you.

We'll for me my doctor said it had to be after getting every test done known to man. Also she listened to all my issues and has known me for a long time. I have been to every specialist as we'll. I do have colitis and costochondritis as we'll.. With about 5 trips to the ER also and all the tests okay she said let's try something for anxiety and see if it helps.. I know I have something else along with it but we can't figure it out yet.. I guess the only way they actually say it's anxiety is when everything else is okay. I've always been an anxious worried person anyway.

Maravilla, I am an old heart patient and I want you to know that
anxiety tries to mimic HA but it doesn't come close, what it does
do is cause a release of adrenalin into the blood stream and this
causes an increase in BP and pulse, go to the recourses page and
find something you can learn to do in a short time, use it to distract yourself, if you passed your EKG that's a good sign and
you probably are suffering from PAD, It's the fear of dying and
not being in control that causes the Panic. Peace!
