Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Upon waking I have severe pain and cramping of my left arm. The pain is mostly at the bend in my arm and last for some time and after the severe pain subsides I continue to have an ache for the rest of the day. This happens about once or twice a week.
I would in simple and direct terms recommend a cardiac check (EKG, stress test, treadmill test, 2D echo, and cardiac enzymes), and a gastric check (upper GI endoscopy, 24 hour acid pH monitoring, etc.). Please visit your doctor as further management is difficult without a diagnosis. Advising you on anything right now would be unwise and inaccurate, without a diagnosis.
Best wishes.
