What Causes Chest Pain With Hand Tingling And Numbness?
Night before last my wife had what she called a lightning bolt in her upper left chest that ran from above her heart to her left shoulder and to her neck, she could feel it moving(it woke her up) she said her left arm was tingling and numb, she has been to the walk in clinic and they ran some blood tests, an ekg and did an x-ray. She is scheduled for a stress test in the morning, she still has some pressure on her chest on the left side under the breast and her hand is still tingly and numb (she says the hand tingling is normal for her) the arm isn t tingling or numb since it happened. Any suggestions?
