Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have extreme pain on left arm. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like poor circulation , poor posture , stressŸ , strains , sprains , tendinitis , angina or chest pain . I would suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out more serious condition . Doctor may order ECG , TMT , troponin t test and complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe isosorbide nitrate , aspirin , diuretics , sedative and calcium channel blockers . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for muscle bone problem . For now apply warm compresses , take proper rest , do not exert your body and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
