Suggest Remedy For Numbness And Tingling Sensation In Arms
Hi a few days ago I was really upset, I cried for about half hour, heavy breathing started and then my mouth and hands went tingly and then numb, half hour later after I calmed down, my hands went completely numb to the point where I could barely move them but numbness in mouth had gone, should I be worried? Thanks.
