Pain In Left Arm On Sleeping, Starts In The Upper Inner Part, Occasional Tingling Causing Pain In Fingers. Heart Related Of Pinched Nerve?
I m a 25 yr old African American female that has been experiencing pain in my left arm when I sleep. The pain starts in the upper inner part of my left arm. Sometimes, there is a sharp tingle. Then the rest of my arm feels numb to achy with pain in my all my fingers, especially my pinky finger. Is this heart problem related or just a pinched nerve? I have a family history of heart related problems, but I have not experienced these issues in my life.
