Suggest Treatment For Sharp Chest Pain And Tingling In Left Arm

I have porlonged QT syndrome, and at night, like tonight, when I start to drift off to sleep i get this sharp chest pain that wakes me back up, plus pain and tingling in my left arm. Im scared to go to sleep and this happens off and on, so I dont know when it's serious enough to go to the hospital because it always goes away.

Well come to HCM
Thank for asking
I really appreciate your concern, exact value of QT interval is important without knowing this it can not be said either it is significant or nonspecific, the symptoms give here may not be due to that but it seems to be due to muscular pain, or hyperacidity,
I would advise to get done the EKG it is just to rule out the ischemic changes, it does not seems to be serious condition, if the symptoms appears in sleep then sleep apnea needs to be rule out, last but not the least condition may be due to anxiety and depression that may be age and gender related.
it could be muscular spasm hope this information helps.
