hi, for about a couple of month i have been experiencing numbness from the left side of my chest and the muscle my left side is getting bigger and now it feels like numb getting far from the left side of my neck.. may i know what kind of symptoms is this? and what doctor to consult about my problem?.. thanks
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of musculoskeletal pain due to cervical spine pathology is more. But better to get done ECG first, to rule of cardiac diseases because left sided chest pain is common with heart diseases. If ECG is normal than no need to worry about heart diseases. Then Consult orthopedic doctor and get done x-ray and MRI of cervical spine to rule out compression of nerve root. If this is also normal than get done vitamin B 12 level. If deficiency then you need supplements. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
