Ever since I started taking Lexapro and Clonazepam, I've felt a weird pain in my left hand and arm. It comes and goes, but I still think it's weird. Do you think it's related to the medications?

" i take clonazepam and don't know about lexapro, but i have left arm and hand numbness and tingling. i think the anxiety puts a strain on the heart and muscles around it causing it, also i had a very bad experience on time, cuz the anxiety had ruined my esophogus and the stomache acid was so bad it enflamed a muscle putting pressure on the vecus nerve which actually simulates a heart attack, this happened while on vacation in 2001 and was in the hospital for 3 days and the docs could not figure it out. finally i am home and see my gastro doc and he knew right away what it was and changed my stomache meds and it has never happened again.

" i have had pains in hand and arms mainly the left one, my anxiety level was bad at this time and because i thought i was going to have a heart attack i was more stressed then more pains as a result, like fence post i also have a problem with my stomach so this also could be a possible cause. "
