Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms are suggestive of a disc herniation in the cervical vertebral column, which is causing radicular nerve pain in both arms. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with a neurologist for a physical exam and a cervical column MRI study. Holding a cervical collar is necessary. Surgery may be needed too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
