2. “Cardiac pain is generally unexplainable.”
3. “Were you doing some physical activity with your arm just prior to the event?”

1 -- Pain in a spinal nerve can be felt over the skin in any body area where neurons share the same spinal nerve route. Cardiac pain is explainable as referred pain. Pain in the arm did not trigger the cardiac event. Psychogenic pain occurs in the absence of a diagnosed physiological cause or event.
