Weird symptoms

0 Recommendations

I am 44 and started having odd symptoms last March. I went to the ER twice. I had an MRI to rule out brian things as I was feeling moving cold spots on left arm and leg and chest pain. Also had a stress test, which found a ascending aortic aneryism that is too small to repair. ER diagnosed me with GERD and my primary with Sleep Apnea. Sleep apnea was confirmed by sleep study, and I am on a CPAP machine--I hate it, but I am compliant. I have recently started having wierd episodes.

These episodes are only in the morning and consist of arm pain behind both arms, feeling that something is very wrong, the need to sit down and back and chest pain like a golf ball is passing downward. When the golf ball hits my sternum, the pain passes, I get chills, and it is done. They seem to be triggered by turning over in my sleep, bending awkwardly, or time--sometime in the first hour I am up regardless of actual time. They were spread out, but now happen every morning for the past 7 days. Any ideas?
