Answer 1

sounds like a muscle spasm..
Here is a link that explains it in detail, look it up see if its what you are suffering from, it also tells you what to do to make it stop.

Answer 2

Don't start worrying. It may be as simple as having pressed against a nerve for too long, like when you sit on your foot too long. It may be other things, but your doctor needs to check that out.
Try changing your position often, and being sure you aren't leaning on your arm, or using it the wrong way. Make notes about how you feel so you can discuss this intelligently with your doctor. let me know how it goes.

Answer 3

It could be just lactic acid build up in your arm - [ a metabolic waste byproduct ] this could cause the tingling feeling.

This tingling sensation could also result from an inflammation of the nerves. This could result from several causes including iron deficency anemia or nutritional vitamin deficency or it could even be arm parathesia [ http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/sym/upper_arm_paresthesia_tingling.htm ]

I highly doubt this has anything to do with your heart [ since you are so young & do the pains shoot in to your neck? or are they even shooting pains? ] but I suggest you visit your doctor for a proper evaluation.

Good luck :]

being that you're a teenager you might know of the show the whitest kids you know, one of the guys had a tingling in his arm and he had a brain tumor.

i doubt it's that serious but you should have it checked out, the same thing happened to one of my friends and she's fine, like she had a brain tumor, but she got it removed and she's fine

just get an mri

Answer 5

I don't know what it is—but it doesn't sound as serious as it would if you were 46. If you continue to have concerns have it checked out by your doctor; beyond that it is impossible to say anything about this on a board..

You probably lost blood circulation, which means your arm is numb. So if you layed on your arm while napping or anything like that then that's probably why. -Kaylin
