Should I Consult The Doctor For The Numbness In The Arm Lasting For 2 Hours?
Have had 2 heart attacks and 2 strokes; no paralysis....currently have loop monitor for possible A Fib. Have experienced several episodes of extreme numbness in my left arm, like novacaine, lasting one to two hours. Should I consult my cardiologist?
Hi I think it would be more advisable to meet the neurologist. Numbness of the arm is more typically a neurological symptom than a cardiac symptom. And you do have a history of stroke as well. So I would suggest that you meet up with a neurologist as well. I hope that the response answers you. Please click on HELPFUL if you find the information useful. ThankS. Dr Mittal
