Do you mean your heart?

Left sided symptoms are baffling. All I know is that when you read forums relating to other autoimmune or viral infections those people seem to have predominantly left side issues as well, men included. So my theory is that when hormones start going wacky, it causes our immune systems to lower thus leaving us vulnerable to things our immune systems were keeping in check. People also get these things when under great stress, not sleeping well, anything that will weaken the immune system.

anon87974465 · September 13, 2018, 3:29pm

My lower back kills all the time ( disc issues)...armpit sometimes. My ribcage not so baf since GERD under control...sort of, maybe! 😀

I was told becuz of acid its a possibility

anon87974465 · September 13, 2018, 4:17pm

YES! This!!

Seven/eight years ago (I was 32) my left side went completely numb. No feeling, minimal movement...my husband brought me to the ER, we and the doctor believed I had a stroke. MRI, CT scans and nothing. Now I have burning pain on the left side of my chest, going into arm and neck, with shortness of breath, again only on the left side. And of course CT shows nothing...why, why, why is it only on the left side? What an excellent question!!!!!! Thank you 😊 since I've joined this forum I do not feel so alone and adrift.

Omg! My left foot went dead one morning last year... not like pins and needles... I couldn’t feel anything ...ER said nothing seemed wrong. Then, got screened for MS...all clear. Hasn’t happened in awhile...it will probably happen now that I mentioned it😀

nh_user_962147 · September 13, 2018, 4:27pm

nh_user_1201947 · September 13, 2018, 11:37pm

nh_user_973553 · September 14, 2018, 2:13am

Good question. Feel the same esp left hand numb or tingling. Leg too. ..... cant start my scooter. Is it related to heart ?

nh_user_1193303 · September 16, 2018, 2:42pm

I would love to know this too! My symptoms are mostly the left shoulder, neck, area right under left rib, left groin area, and my left thigh.

anon87974465 · September 16, 2018, 3:20pm

I think there is a main nerve that runs on that side and can set off different sensations. It’s weird that heart attacks trigger left arm pain, sciatic nerve pain is left sided too...
