Hello,
There are so many causes of numbness over left arm and head. the causes may be nerve compression,electrolyte imbalance, bad blood circulation,stroke and some psychotic medicines also creates numbness over left arm head.
First its must to rule out the cause of head and arm numbness. although, You can do stretching and isometric neck or shoulder exercises,apply massage therapy to reduce the numbness,take some medicines like methylcobalamine if there is electrolyte imbalance.but if there cervical or shoulder nerve compression then stretching and exercises will ease the numbness.if bad
circulation there then massage therapy will be effective for the numbness.
Although, you don't get relief by this way than consult the neuro and get MRI and X ray.
