Update on Saturday: I had a heart attack during that 5k, that's why my heart was hurting and my arm went numb. I should've gone to the ER (doctor got mad about that today) but I just walked it off and went to work, where I felt like I got hit by a train the rest of the day. I'm getting some tests done and going to the hospital on Thursday to figure out what's going on. On the bright side, I now have an answer as to why I've been doing not so good lately. More to come on Thursday.

Numbness isn't a symptom of a heart attack, it's a symptom of a stroke. If it was a heart attack you'd feel shooting pains. Are you sure this isn't a misdiagnoses, bc I've never heard of someone walking off a heart attack

I mean I guess I could be wrong but everything I've heard, read, and been taught says numbness and myocardial infections aren't correlated

It was more an achy, cold sweat, tingly, numb-related sensation (I said numb to easily describe it) and this is just what the cardiologist told me. My heart didn't stop (obviously, I'm still here) and I don't have all the answers (I get more on Thursday). The EKG today revealed a slow valve which definitely could've been part of the problem, but again, doesn't have all the answers. With was we know right now it was most like a mitral valve prolapse, meaning it is aggravated with physical exertion (which would explain why walking helped) I had other symptoms I didn't put in the post but I'm going to trust the doctor on this one. Either way it shouldn't have happened and we're finding out more soon.
