Tingling And Numbness In Left Arm, Tiredness, Sleepy. What Could Be This?

My boyfriend felt tingling and numbness in his left arm for the past few days. It began in his shoulder during his workout and spread down his arm. Now he gets the sensation on and off; currently, his arm and left side of the face are a big numb. He is also really tired and sleepy, even though he's just woken up. He's 36 years old. What does this mean? Should he go see a doctor immediately? Please help.
