Hi, welcome to our site. I am Dr Saumya Mittal, MD.

Read your query. That is a very significant question and i appreciate your problem. I will try my best to answer your query

There are two possible conditions that can cause hese symptoms.

One is the cervical spondylosis- causes similar numbness and radiation of pain. It will need an x ray of the cervical spine for confirmation. MRI is a better test however.

Second, and needing more urgent treatment is a cardiac condition in evolution. I would suggest an EKG and Echocardiography just to make sure. However the risk of this condition is les, numbness is not a frequent symptom. Still, its better to rule it out

I hope this helps you. Inform the reports mentioned above/if any other so I can be of help further.
