Hi Dr. Mintz, Over the last 3 months or so, I ve a few episodes where I wake up in the middle of the night and both arms are extremely weak. I m hardly able to push myself upright and it takes several minutes before my arms feel halfway normal. I m a 49 year old male.

Hello,

You should get assessed for cervical strain spondylitis. Undergo X-ray cervical spine ap and lateral view. Also, take some over the counter multivitamins antioxidant supplement.

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

Take care
