A member asked:
Can right thalamus stoke (1.2 cm infract in sensation area) be causing left chest/ arm tightness & mild pain ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Perhaps, but: The small described stroke could affect the left side, but more likely, the chest pain and arm issues could represent cardiac problems. Since this might be complex, would suggest getting evaluation soon, as mixed vascular problems should be ruled out.

Yes: Thalamic pain syndrome (dejerine roussy) can develop which causes pain, hypersensitivity to touch, tingling and other symptoms affecting the opposite side of the body.
