Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sharp shooting pain in left arm. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like poor circulation , poor posture , extreme stress , heavy physical activity , tendinitis , rotator cuff injury or angina. I would suggest you to consult cardiologist to rule out more serious condition . Doctor may order tests like troponin t test , ECG , TMT along with complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe isosorbide nitrate , aspirin , sedative , betablockers and frusamide . Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon for muscle and bone pain . For now nowyourself calm , take proper rest and do no exert your body .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
