Pain shoots down my left arm!!!!!!

If you're relatively young, have no family history and you are not in a high risk group chances are VERY good that it is only musculoskelatel in nature.

You can bet your life on it . If you're not medically savvy enuf to make an educated guess, just go for the damn bloodtest.

What blood test would that be? To see if muscle tissue has died as in the case of a heart attack victim? If you're a body builder it's a useless test because you can easilly get a false positive. If/when you go to ANY doc or hospital he'll simply ask you questions I've stated above. Even an EKG is not 100% relaiable. So what does one do? Again, look at your family history as well as the other things I've stated. If you think you're a high risk after asking those questions of yourself then by all means get to a hospital. But if you're 25, no family history, in excellent shape, don't smoke, etc., then like I said, chances are very good it's musculoskeletal.
