I've been experiencing some sudden dizziness and nausea, and it's really uncomfortable. I also start sweating whenever the dizziness hits. There's also this weird uncomfortable feeling right around my diaphragm area. It's kind of worrying me. Could you help me figure out what's going on with these symptoms?

I've been experiencing a lot of pain in my right arm whenever I cough. It's like this electric current that starts from my armpit and goes all the way to my elbow. I recently got over a cold and have been coughing really hard. Is this something I should be worried about?
This type of pain that radiates from the armpit to the elbow when coughing could be indicative of a condition known as brachial neuritis or brachial plexus neuropathy. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine may also be beneficial. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
