Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since your ecg is normal, no need to worry for tachycardia.
Yes, possibility of nerve compression on left side of the neck is more likely in your case.
You are also having Scoliosis (vertebral deformity).
So this can lead to nerve root compression and subsequent left sided upper limb stiffness, numbness etc.
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done clinical examination of spine and MRI of spine to rule out vertebral pathology.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
