What Could Cause Numbness in My Left Chest?

There are a few reasons why someone might feel numbness in the left chest. One possibility is that nerves are not working as they should. For example, if nerves in your neck or upper back are getting pinched (which some doctors call cervical angina), it may cause numbness or strange feelings in the chest even though the problem starts higher up. Another possibility is a vitamin B12 deficiency, which can harm nerves and cause numbness in various parts of the body. Sometimes, problems that cause numbness in the left arm can also cause similar feelings in the chest. Other causes might include injury to the area or issues with blood flow. It is important to talk with a doctor to find out the exact cause and to get the right tests done, so you can receive the best care.
