Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Numbness in the chest is mostly due to heart and lung diseases.
So better to get done ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases.
Get done chest x ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out lung related diseases.
If all these are normal then no need to worry much.
Quit smoking if you are smoker.
Vitamin b 12 deficiency and anaemia can also cause numbness in chest.
So get done vitamin b 12 level and hemoglobin estimation.
If deficiency then you need supplements.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Consult doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
