Tingling..left arm and hand when on Turbo trainer

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

I thought they were checked by the Hypertension Society for accuracy :-(

depends of the type you get... wrist cuff ones are notoriously unaccurate (BP is meant to be measured level with the heart to reflect the load on the heart) upper cuff ones should be a lot more accurate and some models are clinically proven. more error will come from the user not using them correctly!
(for me the GP means a 20 point increase in all figures - white coat syndrome proved time and time again because in hopistal as a patient I don't have this issue, but also I won't have just cycled to the GP's either... )

You probably have nothing more than nerve compression as a result of pressure on your hand / wrist. This may go away with adjustment of your cycling position.........but pain in your left arm COULD be cardiac in origin so definitely should be checked out asap.

Cardiac pain can be either arm, when I had my close encounter with our friend Angina most of my pain was right sided.

Heart issues can be painful ranging from slight to excruciating or painless! My Mother had two, at least, in her 80s and no pain at all, once she fainted another time her BP was non-existent, only spotted by her doctor at a check up. Very lucky!

Sometimes my angina was like having bad indigestion, other times it was in my right shoulder and down my right arm, I was lucky we got it early, when they did the stress test it was kicking in at 80-85% effort. if I hadn't been cycling and pushing myself at times we wouldn't have found it until much later, they did angioplasty and stenting in 2008, I had 4 stents put in, and no pain since.

You are quite right Dave. I was responding specifically to the OP and left arm pain is classically a cardiac symptom......but can also be right sided and I should have expanded to indicate this. So to expand further now....jaw pain associated with arm pain is a definite cause for concern and pain radiating to the back should also be checked out.
