What Causes Severe Pain In Wrists And Arms?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...For the past ten years I have had increasingly significant pain in my left arm when walking uphill after eating. When it became much worse about 2 years ago, my dr sent me to a cardiologist. He did the treadmill stress test before and after eating. The result was excellent. He diagnosed Prinzmetal's Angina and precribed cardizem. The symtoms virtually disappeared, except for a hint of it after a meal. Tonighti went to a concert with a friend. After dinner we had to climb 3 flights of stairs and we were hurrying. I went up the steps quickly, and during the remaining walk to the concert hall I couldn't catch my breath. I had to stop walking. My head (on top) and both arms began to hurt a lot. I got my breath back and the head pain slowly went away, but the arm pain never did. I feel perfectly fine except that my arms hurt. Now the pain is mostly concentrated in my wrists and hands and it's scaring me. I've never had this type of symptom last beyond a couple of minutes. It hurts go flex my wrists or the reverse, and making a fist is very uncomfortable. It is now more than 5 hrs since the onset.
