A member asked:

I'm feeling things like tingling and numbness on my left hand even though i'm told there's nothing wrong with my heart. what's the possible cause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many thoughts: Could be a positional issue if you sleep for instance with your arm bent this nerve is impinged. Could be a neck issue if you had trauma or accident in the past. You need to see your doctor for evaluation
