I have been experiencing what I think is heartburn, but along with it, comes a slow downward spreading of numbing and tingling of both arms and hands, with pain and heaviness in the hands.It is happening more frequently now, mostly while sleeping, but is starting to occur during the day now too. Please advise as to what this may be?

 Hello,
You should consult your physician as soon as possible. The numbness and heaviness you are describing could be a neurological condition. It may turn out to be stress related or psychogenic but this is diagnosed by exclusion. What do you mean by heaviness is your hand movement actually weeker?

Thank you Dr. for responding. Yes, my hands feel heavy and weak during an "episode". It didnt happen last night. I give massages for a living, so I wonder if that would have something to do with it? I don't have insurance, thats why I am hesitating to go see a doctor.Do you have any idea why I would have the heartburn along with it? Thank you again for taking the time to help, Dawn
