Why Am I Experiencing Intermittent Pain, Tingling And Numbness In Left Arm?
Drs., I have been experiencing intermittent pain, tingle and numbness in my left arm. I comes and goes every five minutes or so, tops out and goes away. I feel it mostly when I am seated. I got an adjustment which will usually cure any back, neck, pinched nerve issues. No response. Any ideas?

Hi there,
Thanks for writing in.
Intermittent pain, tingling and numbness of left arm could be due to Vit B12 deficiency, pinched nerve issues or cardiac problem.
I would advise you to visit a physician who might assess the vitamin B12 levels, get an Xray/MRI to rule out pinched nerve , ECG and ECHO to rule out a cardiac problem.
Hope this answer has been helpful to you.
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
