I have pins and needles and my right arm feels heavy, the same side as my drooped face. should i go to er?

Yes!: If these symptoms are new, you should go to the ER immediately. Pins and needles can be caused by many things, but when associated with heaviness and a droopy face, I fear you could be having a stroke. There are treatments if you get to the ER within 4 1/2 hours from the time the symptoms started
