What Causes Tingling And Numbness In Left Arm?

Hello Doctor, My left arm is feeling tingly and kind of numb. It has been for two days. I also have a burning sensation on my left side where my upper ribs are beneath my arm. None of it is sharp pain. Do I need to worry? Does this sound like a nerve or muscular issue or my heart? Thank you so much for your help.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Your symptoms seem to be related to a pinched nerve. A cardiac issue should be excluded through an electrocardiogram. I suggest to do the EKG as soon as possible for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
