What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Armpit?

I get a mild twinge in my left arm pit every so often. Sometimes every 5 or 10 minutes and other times a hal hour or hour in between. Can I wait until this Friday when I have a doctors appointment? What can cause this? I did the symptom checker but I don t think it s one of those outcomes.
