Chest Pain In Left Side Of Chest, Left Arm Pain, Dizziness, High Pulse Rate. Heart Condition?
I have been having chest pain in my left side and my left arm hurts when this happens and I have been having some dizziness and have passed out at times when this happens and my heart races at time to time, I have seen a Cardiologist in the past but they could not find anything wrong but it is still happening and getting worse over time, What can be causing this to happen?

Dear Sir/ Madam
A pain radiating to left arm, dizziness and passing out definitely suggest something important. Although your cardiologist has not found anything, a lot depends upon his degree of suspicion and how extended his work-up was. After the possibility of a cardiac (heart related) condition, possibility of a cervical spine disorder may also be considered which can have all 3 symptoms.
First seek a cardiologist review and if everything fine, seek a spine specialist opinion.
Hope this helps.
