10 Causes of Arm Pain
Cause #6: Angina
Angina is caused by impaired blood flow to the heart, and the symptoms are sudden and quite noticeable. The main symptom is a pain in the chest that can range from mild discomfort to more intense pain. The pain can also be present in the arms and shoulders as well.
Any sudden pain in the chest should be diagnosed by a professional as soon as possible. Nevertheless, there are other conditions that can elicit the same kind of pain, such as costochondritis (inflammation of the costal cartilage).
