Does Shaking/numbness In Arm And Chest Pain Indicate Heart Problem?
I got a symptom that I never had before. My arms started shaking & had a numb feeling that I could hardly move them. My shoulder on the right side hurt real bad. It hurts always but not that bad. My neck had real bad pain too. I felt real weak after that. I did not feel real good. I took 4- 81 mg aspirin. Hearing that if it was a heart problem. I have been pretty stressed lately. I have had some chest pains lately. I am in great health. No problems with weight & keep active. I am 57 years old. Do you have any idea.

Hi,
As per your symptoms and history, you appear to be suffering from a cervical strain problem. You should get x-ray cervical spine ap and lateral view. Also, undergo shoulder x-ray ap and lateral view. There are no symptoms of cardiac disease though. To be doubly sure, you need ECG.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Varinder Joshi, General & Family Physician
