Could Continued Numbness In Arms And Fingers Be Just Pinched Nerve Or Silent Cardiac Symptoms?

I m a 42yo white female, not obese, great health, but my left arm has been numb down to my 1st 3 fingers for about 4 days. I think it s probably a pitched nerve, but don t want to miss any cardiac symptoms either. What are other silent cardiac symptoms in women?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
hi In my opinion you have pinched nerves probably at the level of your cervical spine or at wrist ( carpal Tunnel syndrome). This kind of pain is usually not seen in cardiac pain. I suggest you get NCV both upper limbs and if this does not detect pressure on the nerves then go for MRI Neck.
