What Causes Arm Numbing Pain And Menstruation After Starting A Diet Pill?
hi, i started using a diet pill two days ago and started feeling a numbing pain in my upper left arm since this afternoon (about 8 1/2 hours ago) - I follow a high protien diet - am not doing much exercise yet, are a bit stressed (do to work load) and just noticed my period has started... Should I worry about my heart? Or is it anxiety / pms related?

Numbness in arms and menstrual discharge are not related to each other. These are two different things to consider. As for numbness, it may be due to cervical spondylitis for which you should have X-rays cervical spine done. It's treatment will depend upon the report of X-rays.
As for menstrual discharge, it may be normal or some time due to stress may start early. If it happens repeatedly, then have an ultrasound lower abdomen done.
