I m a 29 year old female. About 10 pounds over weight Last night I woke up with a heart rate of at least 180 bpm and my left arm was numb (I woke up flat on my back) I sat up and after a minute it went down to 115 bpm. I layed back down and my arm went numb again so I sat back up and tried breathing steadily for a few more minutes and then finally layed back down and fell asleep once my heart went down below 100. Ive been waking up frequently to numb arms even though I was not laying on them. Thoughts?
