Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The tingling in the left arm and hand is not likely to be due to cardiac problem. This tingling is more likely to be due to a nerve root compression at the cervical vertebral level due to degenerative disc changes or cervical spondylosis or vitamin B 12 deficiency. It happens primarily due to degenerative changes secondary to age in the cervical spine.
An X-ray of the cervical spine and few blood investigations will help in proper diagnosis.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
