Suggest Cause And Treatment For Squeezing Pain On The Chest And Arm
I just noticed in the last couple of days a squeezing pain on the left side of my chest and left arm when I extend my left arm. The pain would last about 20 min then come back in a couple of hours. What are the possible causes for this and how can I prevent this from happening again?
