Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain And Numbness On Left Arm

My 14 year old daughter has been experiencing chest pains/numbness of left arm and hand/tingling in left hand (once it stops her arm is sore) for about 4 years. We have had every test imaginable ran. What could be the problem? It has been bad the past 4 or 5 days.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Numbness and tingling of left arm is suggestive of some nerve related disorder.
Associated chest pain can be musculoskeletal in origin or can be due to some disease process in lungs, pleural cavity or cardiac system.
Clinical assessment of the peripheral nervous system (nerves supplying the left arm) is required because nerve related problem is suspected.
For the chest pain, complete examination of respiratory system, cardiovascular system and musculoskeletal system is required.
These investigations will help to determine the probable cause of the symptoms and thus help to diagnose and treat the condition.

Thanks and take care
