Why is my left chest numb?

If you want to be healthier, you need to actively do a good job of health care, learn to cherish your body, and don't do things that are harmful to your body. The numbness in the left chest may be caused by myocardial ischemia. To get a diagnosis, you need to do an electrocardiogram or cardiac ultrasound and other examinations. After the disease is found, it is best to be hospitalized for treatment. So what is the matter with the numbness in the left chest?

First, why is there numbness in the left chest? This situation is mainly considered to be caused by intercostal neuritis. I suggest you go to the hospital for an electrocardiogram to rule out heart disease. There is numbness on the left side of the chest but the electrocardiogram and cardiac ultrasound are normal. Please note that it is caused by cardiac neurosis and is related to fatigue, over-excitement, and tension. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest and ensure adequate sleep.

Second, it may be due to insufficient blood supply to the coronary arteries, causing acute and temporary myocardial ischemia and hypoxia, which often causes symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, and chest tightness. It is mostly caused by high blood lipids, high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, lack of physical activity and obesity. It is recommended to go to the hospital for electrocardiogram, cardiac color ultrasound and other related examinations. If necessary, coronary angiography can be performed. You should eat a light diet, eat more vegetables, fruits and other foods, avoid eating too greasy foods, control blood lipids, and check blood lipids regularly.

Why is the left chest numb? What’s your age? Do you have hypertension, diabetes, or smoking? This is very important. If you are a young person (under 40 years old), don't be nervous, it may be cardiac neurosis. The so-called cardiac neurosis refers to symptoms similar to angina pectoris, but in fact there is no structural and functional abnormality in the heart itself. That is, the heart itself is no different from a healthy person's heart. It is more common in young women, and the incidence rate in men is slightly lower. Simply put, it is a syndrome similar to neurasthenia and may be accompanied by insomnia and nightmares. In short, no special treatment is needed, and don't be overly nervous. You don't need to see a doctor, just relax. If you are middle-aged or elderly, and have underlying diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and the pain is behind the sternum or in front of the heart, and the pain lasts for several minutes, then it is recommended to do an electrocardiogram because there is a possibility of coronary heart disease.
