I have been having left arm pain and headaches all the time and chest pains. I have been to a cardiologist and he said there isnt anything wrong with my heart. I had to go to the ER 3 weeks ago and they told me my esophagus is having spasms, I was wanting to know if left arm pain and chest pain are common with esophageal spasms
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Chest pain is commonly seen with esophageal spasm. But left arm pain is not seen with esophageal spasm. No need to worry about heart diseases as your cardiologist has confirmed this. Left arm pain is mostly muscular in nature. So apply warm water pad on affected areas of arm. Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant Chat Doctor.  For esophageal spasm, avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid hot and spicy food. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
