Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain and numbness in the arm and headache . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are probably related to heart condition . So i would suggest you to consult cardiologist once also . Doctor may order ECG, TMT , troponin t test and complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe blood thinners , calcium channel blockers along with diuretics . Some times doctor may order angiography or refer you to orthopedic surgeon in case there is condition like cervical spondylosis or to neurologist in case of nerve problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
