Suggest Remedy For Prickling Feeling In Chest And Breathlessness
I m having what feels like little needles prickling around my upper left chest area. I do not have shortness of breath. This morning, I felt unusually hot and sweaty, even though I have hyperhidrosis in my hands and feet. My left arm was also tingling for about 20 minutes. Do I need to go to the doctor and be checked for a heart attack or clogged arteries?
