What Causes Shooting Pain In The Arms While Coughing?
What could cause pain shooting down arms while coughing or vomiting? It turns into numbness, tingling. I feel it like a string from yhe front of my armpit to the back of the elbow then down to my fingers. It makes me feel like I m dying and panicky after. I have a diagnosis of fibromyalgia and usually take an inhaler for asthma. I haven t taken it in about a month because I was concerned it was making my mouth and tongue sore.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Due to compression of nerve root in cervical spine there is tingling numbness and pain associated with it.
I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic like pregabalin and methylcobalaminmedication can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
