weakness in arm


19 years ago 0 30 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I got that arms heaviness as well even legs sometimes, I got it about once a week especially when I am anxious, it is nothing to worry about it is all to do with anxiety , I know it is very scary. the first time I had it I was in the market doing my shopping and I suddenly could not walk or hold my son I went straight to the A&E but the Doc said it was stress related.

Hi Jessica, I have anxiety for a few years now...but the last year and a half it has increased...when I noticed the changes, having panic attacks, one of the first signs were my arms going weak, particular my left side. My friend took me to the A&E and the doctors did not know what was wrong and told me that I had an case of muscle spasms...but then later found out that it happened when I was very anxious and/or on the verge of a panic attack....You take care and keep us posted. Best, B
