I just went bowling and I bowl with my right hand. When I was finished, my left arm started to throb with a dull pain shooting down from the middle of my tricep to my pinky. and there is sort of a pins and needles felling in my pinky. kind of like when you hit your funny bone. I just started taking xenadrine efx today, the non-ephedra kind. did I just do something bowling, even though I dont bowl with my left arm. or is it something to do with my heart. I am 18 years old. should I worry. i dont wanna stop taking the xenadrine if I dont have to, but I really dont want to die.

The symptoms you describe are consistent with an Ulnar Nerve neuropathy (a form of peripheral neuropathy). The ulnar nerve is the so-called 'funny bone' nerve.
I have no knowledge of the 'efx' you are taking, so I do not know if it has the potential to cause this problem. It may be 'wise' to stop taking this since the symptoms started with using it. If symptoms continue, it would also be wise to get a proper medical evaluation by a good Chiropractor or Neurologist.
Best wishes and good luck.

you really ought to go to the doctor to find out. it could be the xenadrine, it could be something you did bowling but didn't notice, it could be other things. it's probably nothing big, but get it checked out just to be safe.
