Brief Answer:
Arm numbness is related to anxiety symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
The heart rhythm is regular with no sign of arythmia.
The blood pressure is slightly elevated but well controlled with medications.
I think the arm heaviness is not related to the hypertension.
I think it is related to the anxiety symptoms.
I don't suggest you to change any medication.
You can only slightly elevate alprazolam to 0. 75 mg.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
