while constipated and bearing down, both arms and the skin across my chest became hot and tingly. I had disc sx 5 days prior.

I was not short of breath, nor could I say this was "chest pain" as I understand it. More like an exaggerated flush of upper extremities and chest skin. I finally resolved the bowel issue and have had no more flushing . (No pun intended.) I am 57 yrs old and reasonably healthy.
