What Causes Lack Of Patience, Headaches And Pain In Upper Arm?

I am suffering from lack of patience, prolonged headaches and pain in my upper left arm. The pain the the left arm just started this afternoon. Patience and headaches have been ongoing for the past few weeks. I recently went off my anti-anxiety medication, Sertraline, because it made my feel like I had no energy. I currently am taking an anti inflammatory for my left shoulder that my bone & joint guy recommended for upper arm/shoulder pain. Thoughts??

Dear; I reviewed your question and will give you my medical advise. First of all,Sertaline is a good medication to help anxiety and control the lack of patience. I also recommend you to try relaxation techniques as yoga and do regular exercise, that help to relieve the stress and anxiety.Headache is probably secondary to tension and anxiety too, so you should benefit from Sertaline and exercise too. Shoulder pain is probably tendinitis or osteoarthritis and will improve with the anti-inflammatory and exercise. However, if it doesn't, you might need an evaluation with MRI of the shoulder to check if it is not a rotator cuff problem,
Thanks for using our service and hope my advise was helpful.
