I've been having this nagging pain in my left arm for the past two nights, and it went away for a day but then came back. Now it's in my upper shoulder and arm area. Should I be worried about this?

Left arm pain that started at night and now is also present in the upper shoulder and arm area could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, nerve compression, or even cardiac issues. It is important to monitor the pain and seek medical attention if it persists or worsens. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for relief. If the pain continues, I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my ECG report shows something called right axis deviation. But, I have normal blood pressure and sugar levels, and my heart rate is usually under 80. Is this something I should be worried about?

I'm noticing this strange chest pain that only happens when I lie down to sleep. It's on the left side, and sometimes I even wake up in a sweat. This has been going on for about a week now. At first, I thought maybe it was just a muscle pull or something with my rib cage, but it's not going away. Interestingly, there's no pain when I'm up walking or sitting. I'm really struggling to sleep and have resorted to sitting and sleeping in an easy chair for the past five nights. I'm also managing high cholesterol at 290 with Temlistran 40 mg and taking Thyronorm 40. Could there be a connection here, or should I be worried about something else going on?
