    As other postings have stated, it is important to call your doctor and report the left sided numbness/tingling/weakness. Do you have a hx of migraines? Family hx of stroke? (I have both)

    I have a hx of migraines where I would only get headaches. Then it started to affect my vessel flow, not only in the brain, but my left side. I had a bad episode that we thought was a TIA (mini-stroke) , but was relayed as a migraine issue. The symptoms I had would be left arm, leg and face numbness, tingling and/or weakness. I am now on mediactions and rarely ever have these symptoms (sometimes come on during high stress).

    I share that with you to be sure that you take these symptoms seriously, I was 31 when the TIA (trans ischemic attack) happened.

    I am open to an email from you if you have further questions for me.

    Disregard the jokesters and take the time for a check-up right away. When you call for an appointment describe your symptoms, it may be that your doctor wants you to head straight for the ER.

    These are typical symptoms of stroke, and sometimes related to the onset of brain tumor. And while it most likely is NOT, you should be sure to eliminate those options and seek a professional opinion.

    Do not delay.

    If you have arm rests or lean your elbows on the table it damages a nerve and causes your pinky and ring finger to go numb (happened to me so I researched it). If it's your other fingers it could be carpal tunnel. The first one I found feels like lightning or electricity going through your arm.. Not comfortable.

    Could be a trapped nerve? Possibly in the area of your neck. Cervical vertebrae.

    If this is found to be the cause, you may need to wear a soft neck collar for a while or see a physical terrorist.

    i would get it checked out....any other symptoms?? headaches, vomiting?

    i agree with the others on circulation/heart issues...

    do you drink a lot of a caffeine? if you are having migraines with the tingles having drastically reduced your caffeine intake you could be in withdrawal....GO TO A DOC to find out for sure.

    This could be anything from carpal tunnel syndrome to a serious heart problem. It sounds serious enough for you to go to an emergency room and have your heart checked.

    All I know is what I read in magazines. Could indicate heart problems. Sorry to alarm you. May well be dodgy circulation..
