What Causes Skipped Heart Beats And Right Sided Body Numbness?

My husband just told me the past two weeks he has been going numb on his right side for about a minute. This happens about once a day. He has had an irregular heart beat for years. But tonight when I checked his blood pressure his heart skipped a beat more often. He has a history of back pain and a chiropractor has helped with this. He was thinking it was his back needing an adjustment. I m wondering if it could be his heart. His has HTN and high cholesterol. Could this be a sign of impending stroke or heart attack?

Dear , This is Dr. S.Tomar from Healthcaremagic.com's medical team and I will be your medical advisor for this question. Thank you for sharing your concern with us and showing trust on us.
Numbness on one side of body should be consulted with neurologist straight away as it could be a sign of Transient ischemic stroke . As far as skip heart beats are concerned so it's important to get a HOLTER monitoring done to rule out any serious issue with heart's rhythm which itself can cause cerebral thrombo-embolism . I would recommend you to consult with your Healthcare providers straight away and don't take it lightly .

I wish you good health.
