What Causes Pain In The Shoulder And Arm While Having Stress?

I am also suffering from a pain in my right shoulder down my arm. This started before the incident and may be bursitis. I treat it with cold compresses but I am not getting any relief. I don"t know if you need to know this.
You need to take some rest!
Detailed Answer:
HI and thank you so much for this query.
I think you need some rest. It is very important. What happened to you are signs of excessive stress and pressure from all the work you do. If you do take care of your husband all by yourself, you need a helping. If you fail to take breaks from time to time, you would probable loose your mind and either make unhealthy utterances or words that you may live not to be proud of. Make it a habit to step away fro a few days every now and then to regain your mind.
The shoulder pain might be linked to your activities. If you do lift your husband all by yourself, that is too much for an individual to do all too often. For now, take Ibuprofen for pain relief. However, get a helper to assist with these daily routines.
I hope this helps and guides. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me. I wish your husband well!


Do you think I could be ill.Or is this just stress. I am afraid if something happens to me what will he do.
I found out today that I have 1/6 systolic mumur best heard aat the left sternal border. Also that I have heart palpitations. The testing was done in April and I was not told anything was wrong. I asked for a copy of my test results today and found this out. Do you think any of this is causing me to feel like this? Thank you for your help.
My computer froze so I am not sure if you got my follow up question. Please let me know. I fell so tired and confused I just want to sleep. Also my vision is being affected. I have never felt this way before and since I am new here I don't have a Doctor here yet. Do you think I need to be seen by a doctor or am just exhausted.
Sorry o be a pest but how can I get help if I have no one that lives by us to do it. Medicare won"t help and we live on Social Security so I can't hire anyone. I feel worse today then I did before and also I have lost alot of weight lately although I do eat. but not today I just can't think of food right now. Yes I did feed my husband. I am 4'11" and now weight 105,down from 140 in about 6 months. I had been 5'2",butI shrunk do to bad back problems. My arm and shoulder are worse today and I have double vision in my left eye. Things are going from bad to worse. Any help you can give would be great---or do you think I should see a doctor here although I hate to leave my husband alone. I say it right out I'n Scared. What do you think? Thank youfor your time and may God Bless you.

Rest would do the magic for you!
Detailed Answer:
HI,
You sincerely need rest. I understand it is difficult but should you not take a break, you may break down and be unable to continue helping your husband. I can tell how much love you have for him and the deep desire to do all. However, our wishes might not be backed by the strength to accomplish them. Am afraid this is one of them and someone needs to step in: Child, family, friends, etc.
A systolic murmur of 1/6 is not a concern. A great majority of persons out there certainly walk with this. How much weight you have lost and your increased lack of interest to eat wouldn't help. You really need to take great care of yourself so as to be there for your husband.
For the pain, take Ibuprofen as earlier suggested. If this persists or gets worse, I will suggest that you talk to a doctor for evaluation and testing.
I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if you need more clarifications.
