What Causes Pain Under The Left Arm?
I gave started having chest pains with pain under the left arm and down it. Into my neck. I was nauseated for a moment and have a coppery penny taste in my mouth. Is this coppery taste a sign or symptom of a heart attack? I ve also been under a great deal of stress and I m this could be a panic attack as well.

pain in left arm could be due heart attack. however pain of cardiac origin never goes above jaw.
you should get yourself evaluated for angina.
taste along with pain can be due to

cervical spondylisis with any of the above condition.
