Question 1

is weird numbness and tingling on the left side of your left hand a symptom of impending heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: Pain or numbness in the left arm or hand can be associated with heart attacks. However, there usually are other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, and fatigue. If you just have numbness and tingling it is probably related to pressure on the nerve either in the neck, the elbow, or the wrist areas.

Question 2

i've had a numbness and tingling on the left side of my face and head and every once in a while i get a cold sensation on the same side ?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: You may have trigeminal neuralgia, TMJ (temperal mandibular joint) pain or many other issues to include anxiety.  Your doctor will be able to suggest a diagnostic work up or medication that can control this.  Often the dentist can help with making a retainer.

Question 3

what are the symptoms of having a herniated disk in the lower back?i have numbness and tingling in the lower back when sitting?

Accepted Answer

Many symptoms...: While this could be a sign of a herniated disc, it sounds a little more like facet arthritis as it does not radiate to different areas and does not have a constant dull ache. That being said, a physical exam and imaging would be necessary to be sure. If you are concerned about an actual herniation, then I would recommend seeing a physician for an exam to be safe.

Question 4

is it possible for face numbness and tingling to be a symptom of anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Yes if bilateral: It is possible. If symptoms are unilateral on face then a more careful neurological examination and probably imaging e.G MRI of brain may be needed.

Question 5

numbness and tingling on left side of face?

Accepted Answer

Numbness tingling: Impossible to say without more information. However if it has persisted greater than 2 weeks, it should be evaluated. Could be anything from a temporary viral inflammation to ms, to a brain tumor.

Question 6

are numbness and tingling different things? i get head tingling and cheek tingling (one side?

Accepted Answer

Numbness,  tingling: Great question. It is also complicated because it depends on how each person feels and describes a sensation (and can overlap). Typically numbness refers to a decrease in sensation, while tingling usually refers to a pinprick like sensation. An example: your arm "falls asleep" by being in an atypical position for too long. It may feel numb at first, but as it returns to normal, may feel tingle.

Question 7

should i be worried about a neuroepthial cyst located in the left choroid fissure region with numbness and tingling on left side.

Accepted Answer

Choroid cyst: No. A choroid plexus or neuroepithelial cyst is a benign mass. A cyst has to be large enough  to put pressure on the surrounding brain. Also, a left-sided cyst would cause symptoms on the right side of the brain. A left-sided cyst would not cause left-sided symptoms.

Question 8

i have numbness and tingling in my whole left side of body (under investigation) but why are these areas more painful to touch?

Accepted Answer

Why indeed: Whatever is causing the numbness &amp; tingling is also causing the painful sensation. The sense of touch is multimodality &amp; of mind-mangling complexity. When you say the areas are "more painful," do you mean allodynia, hyperpathia, dysesthesia or hyperalgesia? (The idea is now for you to look up those terms and try to determine which 1 (or more) applies to you.)

Question 9

i have being feeling numbness and tingling on my whole right side what can this be.....?

Accepted Answer

Many things: While these symptoms are usually self limited and inconsequential, if these persist more than a week or so, with your young age, see your family md for evaluation.
It would be best to figure it out early rather than late.  Whether these are symptoms from the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves, you will need some workup if they don't go away.
