I felt numbness in my left arm and felt like taking a deep breath but it hutted more it was like a light electric shock from the inside out and it was psinful to move my arm. I sat down snd went away. It lasted about a minute but an hour later I felt it again but on the right side... a couple hours later it came back on my left side and I felt a fast weird pain on my stomach

Hi,

Hi ! It could just be a muscle spasm which got relieved of its own. I would suggest you to go to your family physician/cardiologist/nearby emergency room of a hospital to get reviewed clinically with some basic investigations for not missing out any other pathology related to your cardio-vascular system which can not be confirmed with our discussion.

Wishing you good luck.

Hi,
From symptoms any cardiac cause should be ruled out.
Go for EKG.
If you are elderly then there might be having some degenerative cahnges in your cervical region giving rise this problem as well.
Ok and take care.
