What Causes Numbness On The Right Arm And Vertigo?

My fiancé has been under a lot of stress over the last several years, his wife, and mother died 6 yrs ago, and his daughter was killed almost a year ago. He is now raising 7 grandchildren who all have issues with everything that has gone on. One preteenager has been acting out in dangerous ways witch causes more stress on him. Running away, using drugs, drinking, and having sex. He has already had 5 heart attracts in the past, and has a back that has been broken for 17 years. With the added stress, he not only has been experiencing heart attack symptoms( which he has been taking aspirin for) he has been recently experiencing what he describes as air bubbles in his head. His right arm has been numb for about a month, frequent vertigo.
