left side numbness

[dania33]

I have been experiencing mild to moderate pain and numbness/tingling in my left arm and the left side of my face for the last 7 days. Along with intermittent chest pain.. On the other side, i m suffering from indigestion problems at the same time. I m smoker since 10 yrs, I have a family history of cardiac disease. I am 28 yo male. Is this related to a cardiac problem or this is could be related to indigestion/colon?

Hello Dana,

Welcome to the Pain Mangement Forum. I am glad that you found us at Medhelp and took the time to post. But I am sorry to hear about your painful symptoms.

It is impossible to reassure you that you are not having cardiac symptoms, regardless of your age. However you do have that in your favor.

Epigastric pain can feel very much like cardiac pain. I encourage you to seek a professional opinion. I assume this is a new pain and not the "normal" discomfort you feel from your indigestion.

Your symptoms could be totally unrelated to your cardiac status or indigestion problems. So it is important to have it diagnosed. Please let us know how you are doing. I will look forward to your updates with interest.

Tale Care,
~Tuck

You are young and doubt that it's related to your heart. You really need to be seen by a Doctor. Please make an appt. soon.

My best,
