hi all,

i am a 29 yr old male, over the last month ive been getting some arm pain that i dont know is heart related. it usually is in my hand and bicep area not really the shoulder. i also experience like skipped beats/ irregular heartbeat, i had a echo done last year bc i have mitral valve prolapse but can arm pain and skipped beats be caused from that, i have had mvp for 8 yrs that i know of and havent really had symptoms like this. only strange thing s when i go on the treadmill i dont have any pain or skipping. heard somewhere that arm pain can mean clogged artieries? please help

Hi! I'm A 27 Year Old Female And I Also Get Pains In My Left Arm And Even A Few Other Places. Seems To Be More My Left Arm Though. It Kinda Feels Like A Shooting Pain Or Kinda A Moving Pain, I Don't No Hard To Explain. It Last A Few Seconds And Then Moves To Another Part Of My Arm, Even To My Hand Sometimes. I Always Think Im Having A Heart Attack Or Something But This Has Been Going On For A Few Years At Least (on & Off) I've Also Had The Skip Beats And Extra Beats For Even Longer. I Don't No What It Is But Does This Sound Like The Same Type Of Pain Your Having?

I Don't Really Get The Sharp Pain In The Middle Of My Chest But I Do Get Chest Pain Alot That Just Last For A Second, Sometimes It's Like A Burining Pain Under My Left Breast, Everybody Thinks I'm Nuts, I'm Glad You Can Relate. Yea It Does Sound Like We Got Some Things In Common And I's Love To Chat More, I Need So Help!!!
