Today I keep getting odd sensations in my left shoulder, left arm, neck and right leg, with a slight headache at the back of my head.
When I say sensation I mean an odd sort of weakness, like you get when you're having a blood pressure check and they wrap that thing tightly around your arm and your arm feels weak like the circulation is about to cut off. It's not numbness though, but it feels like it's going to become numbness but it isn't. Do you know what I mean?
I had it ever since I woke up from a nap today, but it isn't muscle, bone or flu pains. I have got a new bra on today and it feels a bit tight compared to my last one, not because it's not my size but because it is new. Maybe falling asleep in a tight bra might have resulted in a pinched nerve in my shoulder or something?
Heart attack usually does not radiate to the leg. However, heart attack presentation is atypical in women, meaning a seemingly unrelated symptom such a lower abdomen or right abdomen pain can be a sign of a heart attack sometimes in women. I don’t think you have a heart attack, more likely a pinched nerve due to poor posture in the left shoulder, or muscle pain. Given a small chance of heart attack though, I recommend you go to the ER and ask for an EKG and lab work for heart attack. At least call your primary care doctors office and tell them your symptoms and ask what you should do. Most likely you need shoulder girdle strengthening exercise and physical therapy. Tight muscles are relieved with foam rolling.
