Why Experiencing Tingling And Numbness In Shoulders And Tightness In Chest?
Hi, I have been experiencing tingling and numbness starting in both shoulders and then tightness and pain in the brisket area of my chest and lasts a few minutes then it kind of feels like it moves to my stomache and tingling goes down my arms and then I feel fine (weird). More frequent now than yesterday.

Hello,
In my opinion, we should first rule out heart diseases for your tingling and numbness. So get done blood pressure monitoring, and 2d echo. If all these are normal, then no need to worry about heart diseases. Sometimes vitamin B12 deficiency can also cause similar symptoms. So get done vitamin B 12 level and if deficiency then you will need supplements. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
