The American Stroke Association wants you to learn the warning signs of stroke:

* Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg, especially on one side of the body
* Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding
* Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
* Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
* Sudden, severe headache with no known cause

Google says its a pinched nerve. Good luck receiving your medical advice from us.

I get all my advice from GFY, I thought everyone did..

I had similar symptoms, turned out to be a pinched nerve in my neck. That being said... those symptoms are not something to ignore. Stroke and heart attack...? Go get yourself checked out.

Numb left arm and a feeling of heaviness in that arm is a symptom of a heat attack or problem. If it is, time is your enemy. The longer you wait for treatment the more damage is done to the heart muscle. Not saying that is your problem, I'm not a docotr + what else is going on with symptons (rapid heart beat, blood pressure etc.).

With that symptom, the ER is likely going to give you rapid attention, so I doubt if you would have to wait long? Tell 'em it is a little worse than it is to get a response....

There is a small blood test that tells a lot right away. Then there is an ECG, another simple test.

People have heart attacks in their 20s and 30s. I had a heart attack at age 38! Came close to checking out cause I waited to long.

My advice is better safe than sorry.

If it was bad enough to post, it is worth a trip to the ER.
