unusual symptoms

[bianthebrain]

I am a 30 year old male...4 months ago I started having tachycardia at night and during the day which caused some presyncope symptoms, anyway I saw an EP and he thought the Holter looked like atrial tach or inappropriate tach or one more I can't remember he likened it to a dog chasing it's tail.  Anyway he wont know without a cath done, I told him I'd let him know.  Other symptoms I'd been having were chronic chest pain that is not worse with exercise.  
Anyway, I had a nasty viral infection starting a week ago, then 5 days later my left hand got numb and felt swolen I lost control of my fingers briefly, then it move to my right hand and whole right arm..my arm isn't weak per se, but it feels like Jello , like I have a hard time makign it go where I want it to go,  at night sometimes it feels like the whole right side of my body gets a strange vague weak numb feeling in it,  my ankles have felt the same Jello feeling in them too,  also my exercise tolerance has plummeted,  and both my right limbs are more easily fatigued than my left side,  do you know what this might be?   given my history?

I recognize many of the symptoms you are mentioning, because I have them as well. I have been told I have an autonomic nervous systom disorder - disautonomia - I also have a mitral valve prolapse that regurgitates moderately to severe.
I don't know how much of my problem is heart and how much is autonomic NS, but I would be willing to talk to you more and compare notes if you want.

It is unlikely that these symptoms are related to your tachycardia. But hormonal problems can cause similar symptoms to both of these and at least a thyroid test should be checked.
While I am not a Neurologist, and this question is best directed at them, these symptoms may be secondary to the viral infection, which has severely debilitated you. On the other hand they may be neurological in nature, and need urgent attention in the form of an experienced physician, who after careful examination and review of your medical history and symptoms may shine a light on your diagnosis.
The tachycardia can, if persistent cause a cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure, which could explain the fatigue , but not by itself cause the other symptoms.

And the skin along the side of my arm feels vaguely numb  but not extremely numb..just different, hard to explain...
