Numbness can be cause by a pinch nerve in the neck. May have muscle damage from a injure. Spine may have same kind of damage to it which can cause numbness to your body.
Although I am not a doctor, I would guess that the numbness could be caused by nerve damage, or possible heart problems. You should contact your doctor or local hospital.
It could be a few thing, depending on exactly where the numbness is. If you do repetitive tasks with your left arm and hand, it could be carpal tunnel syndrome.
