It was a funny feeling like something was running through his arms or veins. The next day he looked, and he had a knot on his left arm. He didn't pay it any mind, but the following Sunday, he went to the emergency room because his blood pressure was high, like 174 over whatever. Reporter stated he needs to see a dermatologist and get a biopsy. He was also having chest pain and difficulty breathing which is why he went to the emergency room.
