Suggest Treatment For Shoulder Pain , Numbness In The Arm And Dizziness

HI; about a month ago I began feeling numbness and tingling in my arm and thumb; since well before that I ve had severe neck/shoulder pain especially when tilting head back. I went for an MRI last week but have to wait until Friday to review it with the dr. About 3 days ago I started with a new symptom - pretty severe dizziness when I lean forward or to the side or back. Do I need to go to the ER? Or can I wait until Friday to review my MRI...

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have houlder pain , numbness in the arm and dizziness . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query , but in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are probably related to heart condition . So i would suggest you to consult cardiologist once also . Doctor may order ECG, TMT , troponin t test and complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe blood thinners , calcium channel blockers along with diuretics . Some times doctor may order angiography or refer you to orthopedic surgeon in case there is no cardiac problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
