Many different things can cause left arm pain, so you should see a doctor to determine the cause. Most of us freak out and fear we are having a heart attack when the L arm aches. While this is a legitimate concern and should be considered it is not usually the cause.

Acid reflux (GERD) often causes aching in the L neck and arm (I don't know why). If you have acid reflux, or think you might, consider this as a cause. Also a number of muscular or nerve problems such as pinched nerves or muscle spasms can cause aching in the arm.

note: I'm not a doctor, but I have experienced this myself many times and have seen a doctor and done extensive research on the topic. Don't take my answer as medical advice, but as advice from my own experience and research.

If your arm and/or your left side of your torso hurts, you could be having a stroke.. If you feel discomfort in your heart (or heart area of your chest), then most likely you are.

Left side^Answer1It is actually in the middle of the chest but you can feel the pulse on the left side.^My AnswerThe heart is located in the center of the chest. People think that it is in the left side of the chest, but in reality it is in the center - it is tilted slightly to the left - and the left side generates more pressure - hence the thinking that it is left side.
