What Causes Warm Sensation In The Right Foot?
Question: The past week I have had this rush of warmth in my right foot, then last night after weeding I came in and my neck and throat felt full, then went away after about 20 minutes, Now tonight I felt another rush of warmth in my foot, and a little tingle sensation in my left jaw? Does this sound like a heart attack?
Brief Answer:
It's not likely to be a heart attack
Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am,
After going through the medical details provided by you, I would like to tell the symptoms you are experiencing are most likely due to the weed you consumed (please correct me if I'm wrong, but as you've mentioned at the beginning of your query as "last night after weeding", you meant smoking weed, right?)
The particles that are released from weeds are capable of causing vasoconstriction in our blood vessels due to which sometimes we have this feeling of constriction or warmth in chest or neck due to the fast rush of blood.
But let me also inform you that these things are capable of causing a heart attack by decreasing blood supply due to vasoconstriction of coronary arteries.
I would like to suggest you get one ECG done just to make sure that there are no ischemic changes in there.
I hope this information will be helpful. Please let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards
Dr. Bhanu Partap

Ha ha....I was not smoking weed....rather pulling weeds out of my flower bed. What would the rush of warmth in my foot from last week come from?
Brief Answer:
Hello Again
Detailed Answer:
Apologies for the misunderstanding but you should have mentioned it clearly. Anyways if that's not the scenario then then the whole picture changes.
I would like to know that whether or not you have been tested for your thyroid health. If not then you should get your thyroid levels checked.
Another possibility is post menopausal hot flushes if you have already attained your menopause then it can also be the reason of this as hormonal changes after menopause usually causes these kind of symptoms.
