Could it have something to do with my heart?

Could it have something to do with my heart?

I am a 25 year old female who has been having heart problems since I was 15. I have had two ablations(at the age of 15) & was supposed to have a third, but refused it. It was a horrible experence I dont want to go through again. I have arrythmias, PAC, & go into vtac from time to time. I havent had problems in 10 years & two weeks ago I went into vtac. Anyway I have an appt for the 9th with a cardiologist. My question is the whole left side of my body has went numb at 12pm yesterday. Feeling has came back EXCEPT for my left arm which is still numb right now. The numb &burning sensation is from my back into my pinky & middle finger. And I have shortness of breath, dizzy spells with nausea, headache, hot flashes, & pain. It may be something not even to do with my heart & everyone keeps saying pinched nerve. I just dont think so. Oh & even my bottom lip went numb, but nothing else on my face just the neck down on left side. Anyway any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch.

Your history and symptoms are concerning enough that you should be seen again by your physician. Having ventricular tachycardia is a serious condition that needs to be treated correctly (either with medications or with further considerations for another ablation). Other things such as an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) should be addressed as well. While your symptoms of numbness and tingling "could" be caused by a pinched nerve, other serious conditions need to be ruled out -- especially if these symptoms persist.
