Last night I woke up with a strong pain in my left arm and feeling it very numb from my back to the hand.  it lasted for almost 10 minutes.  This has happened several times in the past years but now my dizziness increased and I also feed nausea.  I feel very tired and most of the times, I feel that if I close my eyes, I will certainly fall.  I am afraid that these are symptoms of a heart condition buy I am not sure.  Will you please give me some light?

Hello Melanie,

 

Sorry to hear about how you felt. Unfortunately it is illegal to make diagnoses over the internet. If this ever happens again please go see a doctor. They will be able to tell you whats going on and may be able to help you out. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. We are currently trying to make it more clear on the Ask a Question page that it is not possible for us to diagnose people over the internet.
