Link between heart disease & right hand arm pain?

It is not an uncommon presentation.

A heart attack pain has been known to start in the right wrist and gradually climb up to the shoulder and finally settles in the chest and the classical left arm and/or back.

This is because of the doubled sided autonomic innervation of the heart developing as a midline structure originally and radiading to the corresponding somatic nerves

Hope this answers your question. Source(s): MD.

I dont think so. When you have a heart attack you usually have pain in your left arm so I am not sure if there is a link between heart disease and right hand pain.
There is a link between right arm pain and a Heart attack. Seek medical attention.
When having a heart attack the pain can be in both arms or just 1.

My hubby had 2 heart attacks and his pain was in his RIGHT arm
Possible but improbable, see your doctor if you feel you have cardiac problems.
