A heart attack can cause cold sweats, rapid heartbeat, and pain in the left arm, jaw, and shoulder pain. Many people are unaware that women often experience different heart attack symptoms than men.
Shoulder or arm pain can feel like chest pain, pressure, or heaviness. It can come on suddenly, be intense, or feel like increasing pressure on the chest. The pain usually affects the left arm, but sometimes it can affect both arms. Many types of arm pain can be relieved by rest and taking over-the-counter pain relievers. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms, it is important to see a doctor immediately.
If severe pain in the arm, shoulder, or back starts suddenly or if you experience chest pain or heaviness, there is a possibility of a heart attack. A heart attack occurs when an artery supplying oxygen-rich blood to the heart is blocked. The heart muscle starts to die.
