hello dear
thanks for your query at hcm.

When arm is placed in static position with pressure on it blood will not be supplied to arm and venous return to heart decreases that will cause venous blood stasis and change in color of arm with numbness of the effected part.
This is normal phenomenon , nothing to worry about it.
Regards.
