(Not a Health Question?)

I have been having sharp pain in my upper left arm for about 2 weeks. It comes and goes for no particular reason. It lasts for about 5 to 10 minutes and a lot of the time it comes at night while I am sleeping and it wakes me up. I am a 61 year old male with no heart or blood pressure problems.

Optional Information:
Male , Age: 61

It could be your sleep position, or positioning while awake are causing a nerve to be pinched. Try taking some iboprophen, ice the area when it is painful, and try different positions. If this doesn't help, you may need medical care to find relief.
