It's nothing (like a slightly arrogant doctor would say). It's definitely not the heart and nothing you need to check up unless it occurs frequently again or unless the symptoms significantly change.

It's obvious you have no knowledge about the human body whatsoever because the symptons he described are 100% certainly related to the heart.

No I can assure you they aren't. I am a doctor and I meet patients with breast aches several times a week. Andrespetmonkey does not have a problem with his heart.

First of all heart related pain is never sharp or only a second long. Heart pain is diffuse and widespread rather than localised (and often of relatively mild intensity. But it can be very intense too) and it's prolonged (at least we are talking minutes of duration).

The numbness in his arm could have been an alarming symtom and heart related if the rest of the symptoms made sense, but numbness in an arm is also very commonly a benign symptom.

I literally laughed when he said, "you have no knowledge of human body" and then realizing you are a doctor.

Also too many paranoid people here.

Too many paranoid people? I guess you hadn't read my last post. That's what happens when someone says, "Don't be paranoid, it's nothing."

Yeah, it was a bit funny. I hope he doesn't feel like I was trying to be a "wise guy" know-it-all or anything. That wasn't my intention.



Go talk to an adult and get yourself checked. I've read before that a pain or numbness in the left arm is a signal to a heart attack. Hope all turns out well and its just a false alarm, but I would get it checked if i were you.

It's much better to be balanced. Going to the doctor every time you have a pain somewhere in your body, isn't the smartest thing to do.

If Andres felt like going to the Doctor then he would have, only he knows how serious his pain and discomfort is.

The way he described it made it sound pretty serious. (Even though only going on for a short while.) The possibility of a heart-attack is nothing to toy with.

(I keep forgetting you are Mantle with this new Avvy of yours! )

But people's tolerance for pain varies.  I walked around with pain in my leg for several days before finally going to the doctor and finding out that both bones in my lower left leg were broken.  I just thought it was something that would go away.  I'd say normal aches and pain, no need to go (unless you've got free health care).  Just do a little research and use a little common sense.  If your arm quits working, there may be something there.

Heck, my sis started feeling week and would stumble unexpectedly.  She just found out that she had multiple sclerosis.  Sometimes simple things or things we think we can handle are actually signs of something more severe.  It's better (IMO) to go when it's something you're really concerned about and find out that it's nothing than it is to wait until you've got an eyeball popping out of your head and find that you've had a brain tumor that could have been treated 10 years ago if only you'd hadn't waited.

Of course, I haven't been sick in ages and I don't ever go to the doctor (then again, I have mandatory physicals twice a year....).  It's easy for me to say.

You did the right thing. You waited to see if the pain was intense. You went to the doctor after some days checking on your own condition yourself, you measured the pain yourself. If you went to the doctor the moment you had the pain, it could have been just a pain in the leg.



But I am sure there are certain conditions you have to watch out for and quickly go to the doctor. Diseases that can't be cured and only prevented, as an example.

Although I know quite a few things about medicine, I'm not a doctor, so if you're certain of yourself chances are you're right and I'm wrong. However, I find it tricky to say for certain it's not related to his heart via an online forum. He describes it as a sharp pain in his heart but descriptions can be wrong, it may just have been a prominent pain on left side of his chest, which would fit with cardiovascular problems.

I just hope you are right but if I was the topic starter, I'd prefer to be safe than sorry with these kind of things and just get a check-up.
