heart attack arm swelling

A man beside me told me that he had had a heart attack a week ago. He said that the only pain he felt was in his left arm. He also had some numbness in his arm. He went to the ER. They rushed him into the cath lab and placed a stent in one of his coronary arteries. He saved himself any real damage to the muscle of the heart, by acting on his instinct. He looked just fine to have had a heart attack a week before.

51 yrs old femal,breast cancer 3yrs ago,heart attack 3weeks ago,no damage,I have swelling,back ache,nausa,Metal tast in mouth

BUT i have a fear of a heart attack 24/7, keep thinking my left arm is swelling and tinggleing and always gets paines. What should i do?, i always try relaxing but it dosent work.

d suggest to anyone having your symptoms to go to the ER. I had similar pains when I had my heart attack. Even jaw pain can be a sign of a heart attack. It's not something to take lightly. Best of luck to you.

I would advise you to obtain urgent medical help as the chest pains may be symptom of a heart attack and the swelling in the lower extremities heart failure. Seek emergent medical help immediately.

The next day his chest and arm was very sore and he was very tired. Is this symptoms of a heart attack? I made him a Doctors appointment but he cancelled it. He doesn't believe it was anything to really worry about. He said..... it's just stress. I'm worried!!!!!! Heart disease runs in his family.

He never went to the doc. Maybe it is brought on by chopping ice or shoveling? He had a heart attack at 61 and had a stent put in.

Im having a tingling in my left arm and i feel kinda funny behind my left breast could this be a heart attack...i do hae small vessell ichemia,,,and i also have bad anxiety,,im on ativan,risperdal and remeron.....

I had a heart attack 7 weeks ago. Now my left arm is going numb again. Is this normal?

I have been told I have a heart murmur and while I was pregnant I was preeclamptic and I had to have several ECG because of fast and irregular heart beats so far I have not been told I have anything wrong with my heart but last night I started having sudden left arm pain in the lower forearm and upper should so I am a little freaked out considering my health history so I am wondering if this could be heart related and if so should I be worried?

After a heart attack and heart cath. is it normal for your left underarm to hurt sometimes and to have tingling in your left arm as well as numbness?

Could I have possible had a heart attack? I am a 38 yr. old female. Also, if I were to be okay for the evening and go see my doc tomorrow, would he be able to tell if I indeed had a heart attack with blood work or EKG? Thanks so much!

sister has high blood pressure, other than that no family heart issues/attacks. For the past 4 days my left arm (upper) and my left coller bone has been aching, I wouldn't say pain.. its more like pulling a muscle feeling and also my left side of my neck, it can really feel it if I lean forward. And also ive been burping alot, and really bad indegestion last night that made me feel sick, but I always have indegestion, it runs in the family. Normal pulse in the 70s.

I'm not a doctor, but I understand people can be having a heart attack and still have a normal or near normal blood pressure. Heart attacks in women don't always include the same/typical symptoms as they do in men. Also, it's fairly common in women that symptoms of a heart attack come and go--so just because the clear up doesn't mean you're not having a heart attack. Better safe than sorry, right? I would seek medical attention immediately. First, take a 325 mg.

Does this sound like heart attack symptoms? I have been put on a prescription for beta blocker and given nitro spray, had an ecg, chest xray and blood tests but still waiting for results.

Yes, you can have a HA without any clear symptom afterwards. However, more chances are that you had suffered an angina. As far as I know left arm pain and headache are not common with the hernia. My advise is to see a cardiologist.

An actual heart attack, pretty close to zero.

Did she have echocardiogram or cardiac catheterization? Cardiac enzymes? Symptoms are pretty classic for heart attack.

Today though she has been very sluggish and her right shoulder has started swelling. Is there something I can do for her at home to reduce the swelling?

Can left arm pain be a predisposition to a heart attack and what part of the arm do you get heart pain in? I have had about three ecgs done this year and all are normal.

Doctor checked only my blood pressure which was normal and refused to do further checking of heart , telling that I might be very young to have heart attack. Please , help me to understand this symthoms... Thank You in advance!

Next time would go to the emergency room where they can do labs and EKG. Cardiac enzymes from a heart attack do not show up till 48-72 hrs after a heart attack so they will need to redo the labs then. Many times heart attacks and strokes are caused from the same thing (clots.

Oh, I forgot to add, he prescribed Zoloft for anxiety. Just a few more questions.....Even though he basically diagnosed anxiety, could it still be a heart problem? The symptoms didn't just last about 30 min and came back. They never went away and are still here (total almost 6 straight days!). I didn't think my heart or any heart could take all that for so long!

I would recommend at this point that you have a confirmatory imaging modality to assess the heart function, such as a cardiac MRI, if they think your risk of having had a heart attack is very low. Alternatively, your doctor may want to ahead and perform an angiogram to make sure your arteries are normal. This decision would be based in part on what the rest of the echo showed, your clinical risk profile, and your discussion with your doctor.
