What Causes Heaviness In The Right Arm And Leg?

My partner, as of yesterday, seems to have his right leg and his right arm feeling as he describes it, heavy feeling and slower to move than they have been. There is no pain but seems to be more difficult to move and control the right leg and it making him unstable to walk.

Hi welcome to health care magic...

Your partner having difficulty in right sided part movement ...
So this could be hemiparesis ....

I would suggest you to consult physician for examination , blood pressure measurement , detail history should taken regarding slurred speech , drug history etc...
Neurological nerve examination also needed..

If suspected neurological cause than CT scan like investigation needed to exclude mild stroke ...

Advise : Without delay consult physician for examination....
