Experiencing Pins And Needles Down Right Arm, On The Back Of Right Hand And In Fingers, Esophageal Dryness. Any Relation ?
Hi. For the past two weeks I have been experiencing pins and needles down my right arm, on the back of right hand and in my fingers. This happens up to 20 times a day, worse when I'm using my laptop or when driving. Also, coinciding with this I've noticed some oesophageal dypshagia. Food seems to stick around the level of my sternum and I sometimes feel discomfort radiating to my right shoulder after eating. I don't know if these two problems are linked. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

HI
you are having cervical spondylosis ...or loss of normal curvature of neck bones......very raraly if can cause dysphagia.........or you are having oesophagitis concurrently with cervical spondylosis.....it can be serious if dysphagia is there.....as dysphagia alone has lot of causes
see orthopaedic surgeon +gastroenterologist
take care
