I had a baby 4 weeks ago too. could holding him and picking him up have cause the numbness ? I also have slight pain in my fingers. particularly my thumbs. but can this cause numbness all the way up my arm ??? .. my chest feels strange. the heat here is like 30° and that's rare from where I am from. so im not used to it. could this be cause my heart palpitations to be worse.

    You’ve probably already had your ECG but you’re gonna be OK! Just remember to breathe slowly in and out. Anxiety can cause your symptoms definitely! But it won’t hurt you. Even when you’re back home, remember that negative thoughts are not real. Just breathe! And focus on something in the room. Everything will be OK
