Answer 1

I have a lot of arthritis and often get pains in my arms & chest, it could be coming from a number of places, your shoulder,spine or neck if it spreads to you chest I would say it is coming from your back but I am not a professional and that is what you need if you don't want a doctor try a osteopath or chiropractor they will be able to examine you and decide but whereas the doctor is free you will have to pay for the others

Answer 2

i think its muscle problem. iv had it once but luckily my mum is a messeur. it ached when i gripped things or used the muscle sometimes i didnt want to use it.... so just work into the muscle yourself dont pay for a messuer as yet until you know what the problem is. but if its not your heart then just get right into the muscle ino it hurts but just do it .... but not too much lol  

Answer 3

go to doctor or hospital get checked you can never to careful

Answer 4

Hmm, if it spreads to your chest mabey its your heart.. your heart is right next to your left arm so its possible *whispers* go see the doctor *whispers*

Answer 5

Could it be radiating from your shoulder. If you have never felt arthritis pain you would be surprised how much it can spread away from the joint area. It could well be arthritis and you may be noticing it more if it is humid where you live. Humidity really aggravates arthritis.

Also, on a more serious note, I don't know how old you are if you are younger than 30 I would say that this would not be an issue for you, but you often feel pain in your left arm and/or leg if you carotid artery is clogged or clogging. Although most people think that if their heart checks out they would be out of the woods for this, it isn't always the case, so if you are older and the pain is constant and a dull, nagging ache you may want to call and ask your doctor if that was checked when you had your exam. It wasn't part of a regular exam in my Dads case.

Best of luck and I hope you find the answer that you need!

Answer 6

Usually a sharp pain down the left arm is an early warning of a heart attack, or heart problems
