What Causes Numbness On Hands And Arms And Flutters In Chest?

Hi, I am a 32 year old female. Over the last few days I have been feeling numbness in my hands, this has worsened and gone up my arms and I feel pains and pressure in my vains in my arms and my legs! I woke up an hour ago with flutters in my chest and my body feels shaky on the inside. Any idea what this could be?

Hello,
Thanks for your query.

Cause could be due to nerve compression or deficiency of vit b12. Through clinical evaluation is required to reach the diagnosis. taking methylcobalamin supplements will be helpful.To have better relief, drugs like gabapentin are helpful. But these are prescription medicines and are best if taken under the guidance of your doctor.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
