Question:

As I've had pain/pressure in my left arm. I didn't have cardiac tests done as they did blood pressure and checked oxygen including rechecking pulse and feel that I have a nerve pinched in my left elbow (no one thought it was attributed to cardiac issues). I'm still frightened. It just started this morning and I do have anxiety although I have medication for it. I'm frightened that the doctor is wrong or that I'm just still anxious...I don't know what does anyone think? 34, in shape, have had tests done 2 months ago and they were fine..am I just overreacting? Thank you.

Answers:
I can say you are just overreacting.. i think your reaction is about if you have a cardiac event... i dont think you have .. as a doc. worked in emergency rooms... you must think that if you have a pain or pressure isolated in ellbow and not above (your shoulder or above ellbow)it is a very very little possibility to find any cardiac origin events. Some cardiac events like coronary arterial diseases, may begin with an isolated arm pain but it is so rare and so special clinical situation... no you have not a cardiac event related with that pain...as a female no need to be anxious about your heart... happy and healty days...

So what exactly is your problem? The pinched nerve, or the pain/pressure in your left arm?

Make sure that IF you can afford it to get a 2nd opinion!! Also check out the doctor & his credentials BEFORE you let them do anything to you! I have been thru a YEAR of pain & suffering because the doctor made a "mistake" and removed something he shouldn't have! I think that your health is a VERY important aspect..never allow any one to tell you "your over-reacting"...gee wizz...YOU know what is going on in YOUR body. Prayin for ya!

If medically you are checked and advised that you had nerve pinched in your left elbow. accept it..

Further if you feel you have cardiac problem.. get second opinon from reputed and reliable Physician Cardiologist

Alongwith this have daily schedule of Meditation for at least one hour in night before sleeping.. and one hour in Morning first thing to be done after waking and freshening up ...

This will keep your mind in check.. and mind in control keeps body also in order...

certain things of body are done automatically, naturally,, accept and get cured if possible.

certain things are infulenced by mind... watch your mind. so that it does not harm your body further...

certain things are just imaginery created by mind ... Not to worry... Just know that it is mental hallucinations

the doctors are probably right.
Sit or lie down in a quiet place.
That should help.
