I have this strange pain in my right arm, it goes all the way down to my hand. It won't stop aching. I've tried with pain killers and massage but they wouldn't do much good. What can it be? What can I do? Please don't write 'you should go to the doctor because I just can't afford it right now. Thanks!
I am a first responder with a local first department. You do need to see a doctor. The pain you feel is a warning sign. Pain from a possible heart attack does not always come in the left arm especially if you are a diabetic. Diabetics feel pain differently then everyone else. Even if you are not diabetic the pain you are feeling is definitely a warning sign that something serious is wrong.
The fact that you cannot afford to see a doctor is not material here. You have a life and death problem. While a private physician might turn you away a hospital emergency MUST treat you, this is the law. You can take yourself to the hospital or call 911 for help. My preference is if you are still experiencing these symptoms is you call 922. A paramedic ambulance ill be dispatched to you.
Paramedics are well trained in cardiac problems and capable of starting treatment in the field. This is called pre-hospital care. If what your experiencing is pre-heart attack symptoms or mild heart attack symptom's the paramedic can start the same type of care you would receive initially in the ER. This advanced care saves lives so call 911 now and let them take you to the hospital. Do not worry about the cost. You will be treated and there are programs such as medicaid the hospital can bill for payment.
Your life is more important then payment for service.
