Q: I am a female, 45 years old and have been feeling very dizzy in the past few weeks

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?
