Lightheaded, Arm Numbness And Tingling. Does It Require Immediate Treatment?

Thanks for posting your query.
I can appreciate your concern.
The common reasons for light-headedness could be
>Some changes in blood pressure
>Stress-physical or mental
>Some viral illness etc.
The reason for numbness in right arm could be due to over exertion, some pressure over nerves of neck or arm.
Please consult a doctor if
>You feel unsteady
>Increasing headache
>Something unusual feeling
>Tingling and numbness becomes bother some and does not allow you to sleep
>Tendency to vomit
>Chest discomfort or perspiration
Otherwise if you are comfortable with your self and your blood pressure in under control you can afford to wait till next morning to see your doctor.
In the presence of any of the symptoms mentioned above please visit ER/your doctor.
I hope this helps you in taking an informed decision.
