Pins And Needles.

[Caran]

For the last few weeks I have been having waves of pins and needles all down my left arm. Sometimes quite strong other times a bit lighter. Happens quite often, about 5-10 minutes apart. Also both thumbs have gone dead. Very annoying when trying to turn pages in the newspapers. I did look on line and it mentioned could be heart related.
Had to go o doctors to hand a specimen in so asked if I could see a doctor.
When I explained why she said can you come back at 5.15. Gosh that had me surprised. When I got there the doctor gave me a going over. Said I had a heart murmur. Gave me an appointment for Friday to have an ECG.
Has anyone else had anything like this before?

Could be due to poor circulation. Does it go if you move that arm?

For goodness sake! Who needs this at 5.30 in the morning?! LCG, despite being unqualified you regularly use medical terminology and portray yourself as knowledgable. However, you (and one other in particular) have been known to be dismissive of conditions that require proper medical
attention and you often give poor and misleading advice - and that should concern everyone. Now please stop this.

[LadyCG]

Can you show me where I've given poor and misleading advice. Or indeed where I've give any advice?

And are you medically qualified to dismiss the so-called "advice" of others?

[naomi24]

I’m not arguing, LCG, but you did recently tell someone seeking medical advice to stop worrying and go and have a cup of tea. You were wrong. Now please stop.

[LadyCG]

Can you demonstrate how I was wrong on that occasion, please?

And may I also point out that the Ed recently advised that anyone can contribute to threads in B&S and they do not need to be medically trained.

[naomi24]

You don’t need to be medically trained - but neither should you mislead by giving the impression you are.

[LadyCG]

Can you show me where I have given the impression I am?

Someone who has worked in the medical profession for the last 12 years is bound to use medical terminology.

Just a reminder of the words from Ed and Spare:

22.34 weds here. You can’t think how pins and needles can be cardiac related. It can. I googled it. Now stop.

[LadyCG]

I will NOT stop contributing thoughts to this section of AB and I will not be bullied.

[naomi24]

You haven’t been asked to stop contributing - and you’re not being bullied.

[LadyCG]

I disagree on both points.

I will once again refer you to the posts of Ed and Spare on this subject.

[naomi24]

That’s enough, LCG. Move on.
