What Causes Discomfort In The Left Arm Radiating To The Chest?
Several days ago around 3am I felt a squeezing sensation on my left arm and it then went to my chest. It lasted for 20 seconds. Did not happen since. This was the same sensation that happened several times before I had the stent put in. I did the Eco and they found that one artery needed a stent but not the other 2 at that time.

Hello,
It could be neuropathic pain. As first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
