 Okay, I know that pain in the left arm and shoulder can often be a sign of heart attack but - I am wondering if it might be something related to my WLS.  The pain isn't constant and it seems to travel from my forearm up into my shoulder.  I sometimes feels a bit worse when I take a deep breath...???    I had a heart monitor put on about a  year ago and it didn't show anything.  Any ideas other than heart attack?

 Abby!  Go see a doctor even if you have an inkling it could be a heart attack!

Abby, do you have any other symptoms ? Nausea, cold clammy skin, cold sweats, center back pain, feeling of dread, rapid thready  heartbeat, pounding skipping heartbeat, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, weakness, or feeling heavy pressure on your chest.  Be careful Abby, in women the signs and symptoms of a heart attack or far more subtile than in men. In males it is pretty classicical but in women it often presents itself much more vague. Don't take any chances.

 I thought this might be the same thing as you desribed - eating too fast or too much - but the pain started this am before I had eaten anything.  I will try gasx to see if that helps  Thanks

No to all of those - it's just in my arm and shoulder and kinda feels like it's behind my collar bone.  Not hurting at al right now and that's the way it is - just comes and goes.  I will try out patients and see what they say. Thanks

Abby, better be safe than sorry. I sometimes get pain usually related to when I eat, but you never know.
