What Causes Recurring Bouts Of Numbness In Left Limbs?

My 29 year old husbands left arm and hand keep going numb, abruptly waking him up in the middle of the night. In the past, we ve seen doctors about possible heart conditions but nothing s come from it. He s really scared right now and doesn t know what to do. Unfortunately we don t have insurance at the moment.
