Heartburn and numbing and tingling from stress

My husband started having indigestion out of the blue one night. It was literally after having dinner and he has been having heartburn ever since. Few days after that he had numbness in his left arm and a week after that it was tingling in his fingers on both hands. Then I noticed how he been going to the bathroom a lot more and it takes him a while to urinate. He has a highly stressful job and a very demanding boss and when I talk to people about his symptoms the first question out of everyone is if he has a stressful job. My question is...is it possible to have heartburn and tingling and urinary and bowel problems from being stressed. He gets all these symptoms when he is home and not stressed. If someone could please let me know that would be so much appreciated. Thank You much in advance!

hi, I think your husband had a acid reflux..and im sure it is because of his stressful job..because acid reflux can be triggered by stress. It is exactly what I had experience 4 yrs. ago. Right  now it was managed.

I think when you stress anything is possible. He may need to be on a daily regimen of antacids. The numbness could be from stress or carpel tunnel possibly. The urinary I'm not sure could be stress related as well. Maybe needs to go have a good once over at the doctor. I wish you all the best.
