Sounds more like symptoms of a heart attack if you ask me.

The physical symptoms of anxiety are caused by the brain sending messages to parts of the body to prepare for the "fight or flight" response. The heart, lungs and other parts of the body work faster. The brain also releases stress hormones, including adrenaline. The following symptoms can occur as a result:
* abdominal discomfort
* diarrhoea
* dry mouth
* rapid heartbeat or palpitations
* tightness or pain in chest
* shortness of breath
* dizziness
* frequent urination
* difficulty swallowing
Psychological symptoms can include:
* insomnia
* irritability or anger
* inability to concentrate
* fear of madness
* feeling unreal and not in control of your actions (depersonalisation)
There are many symptoms of anxiety...I get quite a few of them myself...Take care, and do take your meds...

Left arm pain? Yeah, cardiologist first! Fast!
Whether or not there are symptoms, a full battery of blood tests from a psychiatrist might help. There are many diseases that masquerade as anxiety, and go undiagnosed by mental health pro's who don't refer for physicals.
Feel better!

I know all about anxiety and it is terrible. Burning sensations can be part of it but not neccesarily arm pain. Google "the linden method" to learn more although I think you should think about taking "LEXAPRO" if you have true anxiety problems.

Given that it's in your left arm and all that, why don't you call the ambulance.
