Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Pain, Tingling And Numbness In The Arm?
I am having pain, tingling and numbness in my left arm. I was having chest pain that radiated to my jaw and drs have said I don t have heart problems. Sometimes the pain in my arm is so bad, and other times not so much pain, but lots of tingling. What could be the cause? I had sciatica for 7 years and finally had surgery a year ago. So that is much better.
Thanks for your question on Ask a doctor forum. I can understand your concern. By your history and description, we should definitely rule out heart diseases first. So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms. So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
