What part of arm hurts during heart attack?

Question

My father recently had a scare, and the doctor mentioned arm pain as a symptom. Now, I'm feeling some discomfort in my left arm too, and it's making me a bit worried. I just want to know which part exactly we should be concerned about.

See, sometimes it's just muscle pain from work or something, but a heart attack pain in the arm is usually in the left arm, sometimes extending to the back or neck. It's not a sharp pain, more like a dull ache or numbness. If you feel anything like that, don't take a chance, go to the hospital immediately.

I just recovered from a heart attack, and for me, it was a heavy, dull ache in my left arm that went all the way to my jaw. It wasn't sharp, but a constant, uneasy feeling along with chest tightness. Don't try to guess, if you even suspect something, please rush to the emergency room. Better safe than sorry.

I sometimes get a tingling in my left arm and then I start panicking. Is it just me? How do you distinguish between normal arm pain and something serious? The fear itself is so draining.

Haan, log bolte hain left arm mein dard hota hai, shoulders tak bhi jaa sakta hai. Kabhi kabhi toh right arm mein bhi feel hota hai na. But it's not just a simple pain, it's a kind of discomfort or heaviness. Agar aisa kuch ho toh seedha doctor ke paas jaana chahiye.

Honestly, at this point, every part of my body hurts after chasing my toddler all day, I wouldn't even know if it's a heart attack or just another Tuesday. But yeah, jokes aside, left arm is what they always show in movies, like a heavy, crushing pain, right?
