What Causes Tingling In Hand And Chest Pain?

I am 42 and I have had tingling in my right hand on and off for the past few weeks and then last week one afternoon in my right calf for just a few minutes...should I see a cardiologist on neuologist for this. I was having chest pains for the past few weeks but I have since began drinking decaff tea and that has seemed to help with the pain.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms are not typical of any cardiac disorders.

For this reason, I would recommend consulting first with a neurologist for a physical exam and some tests:

- complete blood count
- a nerve conduction study
- a Doppler ultrasound of the carotid arteries
- a resting ECG
- blood electrolytes
- fasting glucose, etc..

Anxiety may mimic all this clinical situation too. If all these tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause of your complaints.

Hope to have been helpful!

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
