what kind of pain do you get in your arm if you have a heart problem???

Question

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.

Answer 1

stop taking xenadrine -- is it more important to lose weight than have a heart problem? whatever they say about xenadrine is false advertising -- it does contain ephedra. it has been prhobited by the food and drug administration, but is still sold in some stores, even reputable ones because of it's popularity. it is effective i guess, but the side effects are not pretty -- people are in denial when it comes to this kind of drugs. they don't care about the side effects, as long as the drug is working.

i bet these symptoms you listed above started when you started taking xenadrine. so i advise you to immediately stop that medication. i bought one of those trimspa years ago, never took one of them because i did a research on it -- not good. please try to remember, there are NO shortcut pills to a healthier body -- lifestyle change is a lot more safer and successful.

these kind of pills make you hyperactive -- makes the heart beat faster also -- and this will cause cardiac irregularites eventually.

if you think xenadrine is so safe -- ever wondered why doctors DON'T prescribe it to patients? you are way too young to have heart problems (unless you've had it since you were a baby -- but still xenadrine is still contraindicated). trust me -- it's xenadrine that's causing your heart irregularities.

good think you were just playing bowling -- if you took this drug and started running -- don't know where you'll be right now. somebody has died from it too -- that's why ephedra is considered illegal.

The classic symptom of a heart attack is chest pain that is unrelieved by rest and often spreads or radiates through the upper body to the arms, neck, shoulders, or jaw. However, some patients may only experience chest pressure/discomfort, with or without other symptoms such as shortness of breath, palpitations, fainting, fatigue, sweating, or nausea. In contrast with men, women are more likely to feel fatigue or nausea prior to a heart attack. They also feel pain high in the abdomen and chest, and even in the back, neck, or jaw. Whatever the nature of the pain, it does not have to be jarring or obvious for it to signal an impending heart attack. In fact, obvious pain is a better signal of an impending heart attack than discomfort or heartburn-like symptoms, which can be easily ignored or mistaken for indigestion.As a general rule, it is better to be safe than sorry. If a heart attack is suspected and any of these symptoms are present, this may indeed be a sign of a serious lack of oxygen-rich blood supply to the heart. Emergency medical help should be sought immediately. Physicians usually advise stricken individuals to first call 911, then to chew an aspirin and wash it down with a glass of water, while waiting for help to arrive.

Answer 3

This kind of symptoms you have explained is known to be an Angina pain. It may be that some of your valves are blocked. The facts can only be revealed if you visit a doctor and take an ECG. In the meantime, take Vitamin B6 and B12 one table twice a day with water after meal and also start consuming 2 to 3 raw garlic flakes cut into fine pieces and gulp them on empty stomach before breakfast. Take complete rest for three days for the system to repair the damage. Cut down on all kind of spicy, fast and non-vegetarian food, aerated cold drinks, ice cream, sweets and other milk products totally. Eat lots of vegetables, fruits and salad. Drink fruit juices and at least 5 litre of water every day. Take 500g Green Marrow (Laukie in India), extract juice and drink daily to open your blockage. If you are constipated, correct your bowel movements. Please visit a doctor so that you can be safe from unwarranted situations. Best of health.

Answer 4

Does the Xenadrine have a lot of caffeine? Or other speed like effects as the ephedra?.
Sometimes they replace it with high doses of caffeine, which roughly will give you the same effect, and can cause heart problems. Read the ingredients and see if they have done this, if so, slack off it, and see if it stops, if it does not, consult a physician.

Answer 5

The kind of pain you get from a heart attack is usually different.
Please stop taking the xenadrine--it is bad for you.

The pain you are having sounds like pressure on a nerve. If you don't have pressure on the funny bone at the elbow, then maybe there is pressure on the nerve in the neck. Maybe you slept wrong.
