What Causes Chronic Cough Along With Numbness In The Left Arm?

Hello, Recently I ve been coughing quite a lot and I probably cough every 2 minutes now. Every time I do I get a weird jolt or shock within my back neck area that travels down into my arm. Also my left arm has a stinging sensation and goes numb at times. Could this be related to MS? What is causeibg the shock when I cough also?

Hello,

Consult a physician and get evaluated. We have to rule out possible causes like neuropathy. Detailed evaluation including nerve conduction study is required for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
