A member asked:

My left hand feels hard and numb. also palm is sweaty, why? is this related to a heart attack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a dr asap: This could be- although probably not. Still seek medical attention asap to make certain it is not a heart attack. From there, if it is not, they will work up your hand.
