Hello,
Weakness on your arms from the elbow to your hands associated with tightness in your back shoulder muscles could be due to any neurological problem with the spinal cord.
I highly recommend to :
- consult with a neurologist and run a good neurological examination
- run a good cardiac checkup (EKG, echocardiogram) to rule out heart problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
