What Causes Weakness And Numbness In The Forearms?

I have been having different issues that have gradually started and now some seem to be getting worse My right arm has no strength and I am always feeling numbness in my forearm. While I am carrying some thing it seems that I run out of breath and it seems to take a while (minutes) to regain normal breathing. And lastly my legs are always seeming like they are heavy and don t want to keep moving sometimes. History of uncontrolled diabetes, high bp, high cholesterol.

Hello,

You are already suffering from uncontrolled diabetes and Hypertension which may cause problems. Median nerve compression at cubital fossa or carpal tunnel syndrome at wrist may cause weakness.

Hypertension itself cause heart failure which lead to dysnea. So, keep blood pressure under control. Electrolyte imbalance leads to generalized weakness.

Please consult your neurophysician, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
