Have you considered anxiety? It can be a frightening time when you're told you've got AF and anxiety can cause pins and needles and a cold achey feeling just about anywhere. I'd suggest you speak to your doctor.

Hi Asdfvv

I recently saw my cardiologist and mentioned that I have been getting numbness in my arms or hands or fingers and he told me that it was nothing to do with AF. It is most likely to do with the fact that I also have spondylosis. So don't worry it's just something else we have to put up with as we get older, none of which is life threatening.

Just remember old age may not be good but the alternative is much worse.

Hello again Asdfvv

Didn't mean to insult you about your age. Just to say it is not connected to af. Also to give you an indication that it most likely has another underlying reason.

Hope you get it sorted.

Regards Flyer.
