~•♥•~ I'd like some opinions or input on some symptoms I've been having.
These symptoms have been ongoing and changing since about Friday?
It started with a pain in the left side of my chest/pectoral muscle, accompanied by some pain down the upper part of my arm(more like throbbing). This would come and go as it pleased, and the pain in my chest was mostly aggravated by me taking in deep breaths.
This has gradually gone away and become virtually non-existent, but now a few days down the line I still get the occasional throbbing in my arm which now leads to my ring and pinky fingers feeling like they're falling asleep unless I move and wiggle them about. This is also an intermittent thing.
I've figured that the feeling goes away if I sit with my arm straight and my hand is warm.
The feeling shows if I move my arm a lot or if I sit with my arm bent, and if my hand is cold.
I feel as though it may be a disturbance to a nerve or blood vessel. But it could also be my anxiety.
Has anyone ever had similar symptoms after long periods of sitting at a computer with their back hunched, their arms bent or from a general injury to the chest or arm?
I'd really appreciate anyone who can help me out.
I'm also planning on making a doctors appointment anyway, just to see if anything's up or if it really is just my anxiety.

They could also be anxiety-related. Anxiety attacks sometimes present symptoms similar to what you're describing.
And yeah I've also read that anxiety can lead to identical symptoms too.
But as you've suggested I'll still be making an appointment, it's just nice to get some suggestions that can help ease my worries.
It's nothing serious and will more than likely resolve itself soon. But best to see a GP to rule out other potentials though. :3
