Brief Answer: need some more information Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX I am Dr Saumya Mittal. I am going to try to help you with your query. However in places, I am going to ask for more information First and foremost, I would like to know all the medical history you have- diabetes? hypertension? hypothyroidism? Please do not think that its not relevant. Do let me be the judge of that. So please let me know all the medical issues and all the medicines you are taking. I have read about the surgeries and atrial fibrillation. I have read that you have the symptoms of both arm pain, dizziness, possible gastritis, pain in ear and tendency to gain weight easily. I will discuss them one at a time. Pain in the arms and dizziness can both happen due to some neck problem. Do you have any neck pain or discomfort? I will suggest testing a x ray cervical spine AP and lat. This way, we can find out whats going wrong. Dizziness can also be due to ear problems. You said there is pain. Is there any hearing loss, any tinnitus associated? I have read about weight gain problem. But I need the answers to the questions so far before I can answer that. But remember, in elderly, the tendency of the body is to gain weight because the metabolism slows down and in most cases, th levels of activity also fall. I hope to hear from you soon with the answers and reports Best of luck Dr Saumya Mittal, MD
