What Causes Numbness In The Left Side Of The Body?
3 days ago I experienced numbness on my left side. It began in the jaw and teeth continued down my arm into my leg. I did go to the ER and was told I had a pinched nerve in my neck. They did do a CT scan and EKG. At the follow up today with my primary care Dr. he doesn t think that s the problem...what are the possibilities. He has referred me to a nuerologist.

Hi,
Most probable cause looks like the compression of the nerve in your neck area.
It can also be related to the anxiety episode too. Because you had experienced it with most probable organic cause, so my opinion would be to consult a neurologist for further treatment plan.
In the meantime, you can also take vitamin B 12 supplements.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
