What Could It Be? (Health Related)

[Dark Auro]

I don't know if you guys can help at all with this but whatever I'll ask anyway. I live with my grandmother, she's 80 years old and lately shes had this weird thing where she will get this pain in her arm, then it will go to her chest and to the other arm really quick. After about a minute or two it will go away. It's only happened about three times I think total. We're planning on taking her to the doctor tomorrow but I'm really worried and I was wondering if any of you guys know what might cause this and hopefully it isn't serious. I hope shes okay. Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I also wanted to add, she's in a pretty healthy condition. She goes for about a mile walk almost every other day.

well, i would take her immediately. its most likely something in her circulitory systems. i have no clue as to what it could be, but it sounds fairly serious.

could be angina, it's pretty common in old people.

ask her if she feels like that when an attack comes on.

Angina can lead to heart attacks it looks like :S

Sounds like a heart attack, without the heart attack part.

Seek professional examination instead of internet forum.
