There are a number of brachial nerves that are continuations of the axilliary nerve and plexus from C4 and C5.Bystander said:Pinching the brachial nerve, perhaps?
... and I was thinking there was another nerve off C3 that has something to do with sense of touch in the arm. Turn the head to see what the cat knocked over, hear a crunching, grinding noise in the neck and one side of the face and arm on same side go numb simultaneously.Doug Huffman said:three branches to the face, mandible and maxilla
Feeling hiccups in your left arm is a common occurrence and is caused by a nerve called the phrenic nerve. This nerve controls the diaphragm, the muscle responsible for hiccups, and branches out to the left arm. When the diaphragm spasms, it can cause the nerve to send signals to the left arm, resulting in the feeling of hiccups.
In most cases, feeling hiccups in your left arm is not a cause for concern and is a normal bodily response. However, if you experience persistent hiccups or other symptoms along with it, it is best to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
There are several methods you can try to stop hiccups, such as holding your breath, drinking water, or breathing into a paper bag. These techniques can help relax the diaphragm and stop the spasms that cause hiccups. However, if hiccups persist, it is best to consult a doctor.
Yes, stress and anxiety can trigger hiccups and make you feel them in your left arm. This is because stress and anxiety can cause changes in breathing patterns, which can irritate the diaphragm and lead to hiccups. Practicing relaxation techniques can help alleviate stress and reduce the likelihood of hiccups.
In rare cases, hiccups may be a symptom of an underlying heart condition. This is because the phrenic nerve also branches out to the heart, and any irritation or inflammation in the area can cause hiccups. If you experience hiccups along with chest pain or other heart-related symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention immediately.
