Should be evaluated: Usually this is the result of something interfering with the nerves supplying this part of the arm - perhaps muscle tension, or posture is the culprit. But it should be examined go make sure it is nothing more serious as well as to find the right treatment. Better to not ignore it . .

An intermittently : Numb arm can be a sign of a stroke or heart attack. Have him see a doctor asap or go to the er if it starts happening again.
