What Causes Tingly And Heavy Arms?

Morning got up this morning felt fine was making a cup of tea when my arms went all heavy as if they were filling with lead. I couldn t move my arms or fingers for at least 5 mins. I slumped over kitchen table and it relieved symptoms . I didn t feel ill before or after this incident just very scared. I am 52 yrs old male and have a lot of problems with my lower back and neck

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I read your question and understood your concern, the reason for that may be while sleeping if you have slept only on one side and all the weight might have put on that hand, so immediately after woke up you might have experienced that. Based on your history nothing to worry about, avoid sleeping one side for long hours. As you not mentioned what type of back and neck problems completely, next time if you experience anything similar immediately consult doctor. Hope this information helps you. Have a nice day take care.
