My husband called an ambulance he said he has a numbness in left arm, feels dizzy and hasn t felt right in a few days like something s just off. He was in India before Thanksgiving and had to take malaria medicine for the trip. He s a 53 year old male in really good shape, eats healthy and exercises regularly takes vitamin supplements? Could this be a heart attack?
Hello there, A history of numbness along your left arm with dizziness and also a feeling of unease is a symptom I will like you to get checked out. At the very least you need to visit a physician and get an EKG/ ECG done. Based on the report of the EKG we can discuss further treatment and management as it can easily rule out a heart attack. With your husband being in good shape and healthy living it is unlikely but being safe is better than worrying. Symptoms like these are also seen in patients who have been anxious recently so that is also something to be considered. Please do get the EKG done as soon as possible. Hope this helps, please feel free to ad Chat Doctor.
