Common Questions and Answers about Heart attack arm go numb

Avatar n tn The night before last my husband had chest pain that went into his left arm and then his left leg and arm went numb to the point he had trouble moving them. He WOULD NOT go to the hospital. He's very bull-headed!!! The next day his chest and arm was very sore and he was very tired. Is this symptoms of a heart attack? I made him a Doctors appointment but he cancelled it. He doesn't believe it was anything to really worry about. He said..... it's just stress. I'm worried!!
Avatar f tn I had a heart attack 7 weeks ago. Now my left arm is going numb again. Is this normal?
Avatar m tn A man beside me told me that he had had a heart attack a week ago. He said that the only pain he felt was in his left arm. He also had some numbness in his arm. He went to the ER. They rushed him into the cath lab and placed a stent in one of his coronary arteries. He saved himself any real damage to the muscle of the heart, by acting on his instinct. He looked just fine to have had a heart attack a week before.
Avatar m tn anyone ever have their left arm go numb or hurt a bit when stressed or having anxiety?
Avatar m tn I am 25 years old and i work overseas, and when i go home or any place for vacation i suddenly feel like im having a heart attack. I have shortens of breath, my heart starts beating really fast and even my left arm goes numb. I have never passed out tho, but i have came pretty close. But it only happens when i go on vacation. I mean i work in a war zone and it never happens when im overseas just on leave. Some people say that im just having a panic attack.
Avatar m tn Oh, I forgot to add, he prescribed Zoloft for anxiety. Just a few more questions.....Even though he basically diagnosed anxiety, could it still be a heart problem? The symptoms didn't just last about 30 min and came back. They never went away and are still here (total almost 6 straight days!). I didn't think my heart or any heart could take all that for so long!
4927707 tn?1361144882 Ok, first off hello as am new to the site. Second...i'm a wreck. 32, just started Zoloft 2 days ago for anxiety, on 10mg lisinopril, have acid reflux/gerd am on prilosec for. Just had my blood work done, LDL 131 HDL 42 TRI 328. everything else normal. had a ekg done at docs on Tuesday and was normal and have a appointment with a cardio tmrw morning.

646529 tn?1223616794 He was having heart attack symptoms (luckly no heart attack) but did go through a bypass and also had 2 stents put in this past week. He is hopefully coming home tomorrow.
Avatar m tn I'd go get your heart checked, just on the rare chance.
Avatar m tn I started to stress out big time and become very frustrated and then became panicky then i started feeling pain. sharp chest pain, my left arm felt almost numb and shaking, and I felt like I was gonna go crazy i was so afraid i was having a heart attack. but then i calmed down and it went away. i couldn't figure out what had happened. did i have an axiety attack? was it from stress? was i pushign myself towards a heart attack?
Avatar f tn I have been dizzy off and on my left arm feels week and sometimes painful not bad just noticeable and tingling in my palm sometimes my neck is painful up the side and my right arm yesterday felt like the circulation was getting cut off like someone was squizing it and my arm and fingers will go numb when I sleep but if i change positions it will go away but the part about going numb is not new, the rest is.
Avatar f tn My 25 year old son went to emerge for crushing chest pain and a tingly, numb left arm. They did bloodwork and heart monitoring and said it was not a heart attack. He was able to go home. My question is if any digestive problems could cause these symptoms? He has had painful stomach problems off and on that radiate to his back.
Avatar n tn d suggest to anyone having your symptoms to go to the ER. I had similar pains when I had my heart attack. Even jaw pain can be a sign of a heart attack. It's not something to take lightly. Best of luck to you.
Avatar f tn I've also gone to the ER convinced I was having a heart attack. It turned out to be a major-league out of the blue panic attack. And I've had nights when I was afraid to fall asleep because I didn't think I would wake up. So I've walked the path you are on. Given that you are 31, it's highly unlikely that your left arm pain is heart-related. Anxiety can cause all kinds of physical symptoms, so it's probably the reason for much of what you are enduring.
Avatar n tn Numbness is caused by peripheral neuropathy or due to a Transient ischemic attack or evolving stroke. Heart problems usually cause some amount of pain. Please get yourself checked by a neurologist. Do keep me posted.
Avatar n tn its been like this for two days and with it i notice at times i have an elevated heart beat with numbness in my left arm. is this a stroke..heart attack? i feel fine other than those issues. anyone able to help.
5684282 tn?1372321722 Your back, neck and arm pain could related or it could be a separate issue. A pinched nerve in your neck can cause your arm to go numb. You would need to see your family Dr or a Chiropractor to find out if that's what's going on. You should'nt brush off any kind of pain, and you're not, because your body is trying to tell you something.

Avatar f tn s a little more intense ( but i think the chest pain is stress/anxiety related) I am 22 year old female no prior health disorders besides heart murmur and GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder). It just freaks me out and makes me think I am going to have a heart attack or Stroke. When the chest pain occurs i can also feel the pain in my back area. It seems like my arms always seem to have a "discomfort" feeling along with a numbness that doesn't seem to go away.
Avatar f tn I was wondering if anyone out there has experienced the same symptoms I have. Since I've had my my first panic attack a year ago, I have not been the same. The attack happened while I was driving. I could tell something was terribly wrong, so I pulled over. The left side of my body started getting numb and heavy. The feeling eventually took over my whole body. My throat felt like it was closing in and mouth and lips were clenched tight.
Avatar f tn Hi everyone. I have an ongoing problem.... the annoying tingle and numbness!!!! Now I don't have to sleep on it. My left arm still tingles and feels numb, especially when I straighten it out. HELP????? Is this normal or should I go to the ER. The only thing that scaries me is that both parents have heart issues.... could it be my heart or and block vein???
Avatar f tn Right now im up i slept 1 and a half hour and my arm got numb again i felt i wanted to throw up and my heart started beating fast. please help me im not sure what to do or what is going on.
Avatar n tn It could be a panic attack. Are you having any chest pain, pain by a shoulder blade, in your jaw, or down your left arm that can't have been brought on by anything else?
Avatar m tn If stroke, not likely to go away and return. Varying degree of numbness also odd. Like the side, especially the arm, has fallen asleep. Sometimes very pronounced, sometimes, just slightly numb.
1364792 tn?1278051187 i have been suffering from random chest pains along with other symptoms like dizziness, vision probelms, leg and arm weakness and pain, abdominal numbess, headaches and a weird numb sensation between my should blades going up into my head. Some of these symptoms match with multiple sclerosis but does chest pains?
Avatar f tn Im having a tingling in my left arm and i feel kinda funny behind my left breast could this be a heart attack...i do hae small vessell ichemia,,,and i also have bad anxiety,,im on ativan,risperdal and remeron.....
Avatar f tn This sounds like a panic attack and I say this because it sounds a lot like the ones I've had in the past. It's quite scary to have happen. At times my left arm would go numb even. Almost 2 years later and after having ultrasounds on my heart and being told it's perfectly healthy I have finally realized it is anxiety. Doc put me on blood pressure meds and prozac to control it and I almost feel normal again.
