What Causes Intense Pain In Shoulder And Hand During Pregnancy?
I am 12 weeks pregnant. While I was sleeping last night, I woke up with an intense and throbbing pain in my left arm. This pain radiates all the way down to my hand. My left shoulder and chest (primarily on the left side) are also painful. I am a bit weak this morning, though this could simply be from lack of sleep, but other than that, I have no other symptoms. What should I do?

Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Pain in the arm and chest can be due to angina, or due to muscular or neurological pain.
I will suggest you to consult a doctor immediately as angina requires immediate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
