<s>[INST] This has happened to me 2 times in the last month. This time it lasted for about a minute and a half - the first time about 45 seconds. The upper part of my body - my arms felt like they were both going numb at the same time and sort of ticklish. it felt the exactly the same on both sides of my body - while it was disappearing I felt it sort of flow out of my body - kind of had a tight chest feeling towards the end while it was going away. now I am fine - but it was scary. I am a 62 year old female. [/INST] Hello, As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at the cervical spine level. For further assessment, you may require MRI neck and nerve conduction studies after consultation. For pain, you can take tablet acetaminophen. Apply diclofenac gel or ointment locally. Heating pads will also help. You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation. Do regular physical therapy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Shyam B. Kale, General & Family Physician </s>
