Brief Answer:
You will need investigations
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The symptoms may not have any relation to the heart.
However, it is wiser to go for TMT with thallium isotope. It is the ideal non-invasive way to evaluate ischemia
The numbness is probably from Cervical Spondylosis and consequent nerve irritation….Neurologic consultation will be ideal / an MRI of neck spine is generally necessary
Prognosis is generally excellent in such situations
Good luck
God bless you
