Should The ER Be Visited For Headaches Along With Numbness In The Arm?

I had an ocular migraine about an hour ago. Now having a slight headache, numbness in right hand and some tingling in arm and face. Last night, had facial flushing. I did have an MI in 2012. Should I wait it out to see if headache subsides, or go to the ER?

Hello,

You should visit an ER and get a brain scan done. The current symptoms could be seen in stroke too. If diagnosed early, it can be well treated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
