Am working, had a crazy pain go from my elbow shooting both ways on my arm. I immediately went into restroom and sat down, within 20 seconds I felt like I was on fire. Sweat dripping down my face. I walked out and maybe got 15 steps before I was so lightheaded I just had to sit in the middle of my floor. Hot and cold flashes since with a headache in the front of my head. feel very weak. Should I be worried enough to go to the ER? I do not have a family dr.
Hello, I have studied your case. Yes you should visit ER. As per your history and presentation of symptoms there is probability of heart disease. You need to do stress test as soon as possible, if it suggests insufficiency then angiography may be required. You can do blood markers like TROPHY, and CLIMB. If all reports are normal then there can be nerve compression in spine, so you may need MRI spine. Till time take cardio protective medication like beta blockers consulting your doctor and take complete bed rest. Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow-up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care
