Only 1 symptom. Could it still be a tia?

I'm a female, 29 years old, heavy smoker.

Yesterday evening I was sitting in my backyard reading, feeling well, when all of a sudden my left arm started tingling and burning. It felt kind of numb although I was able to use it normally. Immediately I became anxious for I have never experienced this so sudden. I felt a little lightheaded and started pacing back and forth, rubbing my arm but the tingling never fully subsided. I went to sleep and when I woke up this morning the tingling sensation was still there, even though it's more of a burning feeling now. The feeling never spread to any other part of my body. Could this be a tia even though I'm not experiencing any other symptoms?? This has been going on for about 22 hours now, surely if this were a tia something worse would've already happened right? Thanks in advance for any answers!!

    It sounds like it good be a TIA, it's worth going to the er or doctor to get checked out.  The burning can last a long time.  Hope you figure this out soon.
