Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer! I am board certified physician. I’m reviewing your query.

Neurologist: Dr. Mirza, Neurologist (MD) replied 14 days ago

The symptoms you've described such as numbness and pain in both arms could be associated with a heart attack or angina, which is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. If you are experiencing such symptoms including chest pain, shortness of breath, lightheadedness, or nausea, it's important to seek immediate medical help in your nearest emergency room.

Another cause of your symptoms is nerve compression or impingement in the neck or upper back. This can also cause pain and numbness in both arms and occurs due to conditions like cervical herniated discs, spinal stenosis, or nerve root compression.
