Strange sensation in arms, vein or tendon related

Hi there,

Over the last year I've been experiencing a strange pain in both my right and left arm, near my elbow, but extending upwards towards my armpit and occasionally down through my fingers - hard to pinpoint exactly where it is stemming from. It isn't a constant pain but occurs when either pressure is applied to certain areas of my arm or I'm exercising, using weights or doing yoga. It's frequent that when I have my arm in a certain position I'll get a 'twang' or 'ping' through my bicep which can also be felt in my hand. I can also experience pins and needles from it and if in a certain position for a long period of time feel a sense of light-headedness - almost as if it's restricting blood flow. It can be both

I've wondered if this is perhaps tendon related or some kind of swelling/constriction to a main vein or artery, or even relating to a certain pulse. It doesn't cause regular discomfort but it's something I frequently aware of.

If anyone has any idea of where I can look further or might be experiencing a similar issues, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks,

Matt
