What Causes Numbness In Both Arms,fingers And Discomfort In C-2 Neck?
My husband has been having episodes every few weeks where he's overcome with a flushing, numbness type sensation running down both arms, all the way to the fingers. Of course, it's then accompanied by the fear that it's a heart attack, so he experiences an adrenaline rush on top of it. He's had C-2 neck issues in the past. Does this sound nerve and/or neck related?

Yes, given the history your husband seems to have cervical spondylosis and it is very much nerve related.
It would be worthwhile to get an mri of the cervical spine. Further course of action could be decided after that.
In the mean time he could be started on pregabalin for the numbness.
Kndly consult your physician before doing so.
