What does right arm numbness or tingling indicate?

In: Health [Edit categories]

Answer:

It is usually not an indication of heart trouble, however it should be ruled out. There have been cases where the heart is rotated a certain degree causing unusual symptomatology. In the absence of heart irregularity there is a vast array of causal possibilities. A pinching of a nerve in the back or upper arm could also be ruled out.
