Is Throbbing Pain Radiating From Shoulder To Hands Related To Heart Problem?

I have been for several days now with thombing pains from my left shoulder down the arm into the hands, also feeling neausa at time, is that anything to do with your heart? Pain medicine only help for a little while. The pains are more severe at night when I am trying to sleep.

Hello,

Pain in the left arm radiating downwards with nausea can be a symptom of conditions like acute angina, myocardial infarction or heart attack, cervical spondylitis, cervical disc degenerative disease, and cervical radiculopathy.

Tests advised to arrive at a specific diagnosis are ECG, 2D echocardiography, X-ray cervical spine, and MRI cervical spine. So please consult a physician as soon as possible to arrive at a specific diagnosis and for appropriate treatment.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist
