I have witnessed a situation with my Husband 2 or 3 times now. He won't tell me the times it happens that I don't see it. His left arm will have severe pain and his hand will draw up like a severe cramp. He will grab his inner arm between his elbow and hand and press it very hard trying to stop the pain. It is that severe. His hand is usually very sore for a day or 2 after this. I have seen him go to the ground with this. I first witnessed this about 3 1/2 years ago. But, I know it had happened before then because he told me that. It seems that he doesn't really have to do anything to trigger it! He is 51, heavy smoker and drinker! Is this something that we should be concerned about! I am concerned because he will not go to a doctor!

I think the fact that you are posting in the heart disorder board shows that your mind is in the right place with this. I would absolutely have this checked out, especially with his risk factors for heart disease in the smoking and drinking.
