jesus now this is a problem.

for the past two months im having bouts of chest pain and it spreads down my left arm. the pain is a numb , dead feeling in my arm like when you have been punched super hard and your arm goes dead. this has also accompanied dizziness , and hot flushes. im a 26 year old male. my doctor wont send me to a bacteriologist , i fear i am being punished for only being in my 20's and not being seen seriously as an issue to the pain im having. what do i do ? i have had a chest X RAY and a ECG , both came back clear. im so confused.

    Although you're very young for it to be angina, the pain you are describing fits the bill. Ask for an angiogram, which will determine if you have any blockages. In the meantime, take low dose (75mg) aspirin daily.
