Does Anyone Know Why Your Left Arm Swells Up And Your Left Hand Too?
Well it's odd but yes my hand was swollen on Friday and I was released . then Saturday it was gone. The swelling, not my hand , and so far has not recurred. I don't know and I'm not complaining . I feel confident with all the many many many heart tests I've endured they would have told me if they feared heart failure
Lewis, I agree. The newest help on the site is to offer articles in response to the questions so that people can find resources. It is not always helpful. 😉
Thanks. Is the zoom tonight??? I am recovering and re organizing and looking for the email with login. ..oops
Gosh, this could be a lot of things. Are you still in the hospital? It could be a sign of inflammation, you could have stayed in the same position for a long time, certain medications, lack of use, pregnancy, I doubt that last one applies to you! 😉. Not all edema is heart failure. I know you just had a pacemaker and that you have been having some problems lately. This is a question for the doctor for sure. Let us know what you find out. Until then, just take it easy.
Swelling in the left arm and hand can be a symptom of heart failure. When the heart has trouble pumping blood effectively, it can cause fluid to build up in various parts of the body, including the arms and hands. This is more common in right-sided heart failure but can occur with left-sided heart failure as well. If you Show Full Answer
