Brief Answer:
Can be due to PMS.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The heaviness in legs and arms during the periods can be related to hormonal changes and PMS. Taking hormonal tablets is the only way to decrease such symptoms. To have some relief you can increase your fluid intake, do daily moderate exercise and can take a mild diuretic during the periods after consulting your doctor.
I hope this answers your query.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
