What Causes Pain And Numbness In Left Arm Radiating To Breast And Back?
I awoke last night about 3 am with pain and numbness in my left arm. It hasn t gone away. In fact, it has worked its way up my left arm and across my left breast and wraps around to my back. It s been nearly 24 hours, but I don t want to be over reacting thinking i m having a heart attack or something.
