Question: Hello doctor. Earlier, for a couple hours, I’ve been feeling this weird warm slightly tickling feeling in the center of my chest.

Could you kindly share a bit more details in order for me to assist you better...
Your age and occupation, please?
Do you have any past medical history or taking any medications for any kind of health concerns?
When you say your left hand feel weird at times, do you mean it's trembling/tingling/decreased sensation or any weakness over any part of it?
Is the lightheadedness getting better or worse after any specific manoeuvres, eg. if you lie down, or put your head down below, does it get any better?
Is there any nausea/vomiting or any other discomforts?
Please note, if there's no nausea/vomiting, first of all, please drink some water, some electrolyte rich fluids (ORS-solution or Gatorade) and rest...if the lightheadedness keeps on persisting, or any chest discomfort/breathing difficulties, then please call for help...
