Left Arm Hurting After Workout, Tingling And Numbness In Right Hand. Feeling Dizzy. Reason ?

I did a 45 minute cycling class at 5:15 a.m. prior to getting ready for work. during class my left arm started hurting but then the pain went away. I realize the left arm hurting can indicate other things, but that was the first and only time. It has been my right arm that has been tingling and numb. I slept in the Vanpool. When I woke up, I was shakey and dizzy. I could not pull it together. I am also in the early stages of MS. Staff at work got nervious, called an ambulance and I went to the hospital. they did lab work, but everything was pretty clear except the following numbers HGB 11.7 / MCHC / 31.7 / MPV 11.6 / A/G Ratio 1.2 / PLT 147. Should I be concerned.

Hello dear,

The blood investigation report as mentioned in your post points towards Anemia.
So, the symptoms like tingling, numbness, shaky & dizziness can be attributed to it.
In anemia, due to reduction of Hemoglobin concentration in blood, there is decrease in Oxygen supply to various body tissues as per their demand.
Symptoms are more pronounced during exercise as the demand of the exercising muscle increases.

Management involves:
1. Treatment of the underlying cause of anemia.
2. Supplements of Iron, Vit B12, Folic acid which helps in blood formation.
3. Dietary supplements in the form of green leafy vegetables & fruits.
4. Blood transfusion.

However, if symptoms still persist, kindly consult your Physician for further management.
Investigations like peripheral blood smear, Vit B12 assay & Hb electrophoresis will be helpful.

There is no need to worry...you will be fine.
Wishing you a good health.
Thanks & take care.
