Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Dizziness,numbness And Discomfort Between Chest?
Hello,For about 2-3 months now, my husband keeps complaining he is not feeling well, but does not know how to describe what he is feeling. He points at the area between the chest and abdomen and says that something in there just doesn t feel right. He feels as if though he is really hot, but his body temperature is normal or sometimes at around 96.5 deg F. He has been getting dizzy spells, feels jittery, feels numbness at the tips of his fingers...
Symptoms could be related to an infection. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with his attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- a chest X-ray study
- a resting ECG
- an abdominal ultrasound
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR for infection
- kidney and liver function tests.
You should discuss with his doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
