What Causes Heaviness And Burning Sensation In The Arms?
Question: What would cause me to wake up and have my arms feel like they are burning
Brief Answer:
Feeling due to position of the body which has pinched the nerve.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
This can happen when the position of the body compresses the brachial nerve or the nerves in the neck. The fact that it got better in a while, confirms that and I think it is nothing to worry about.
If this happen again, then maybe you need a more softer bed, or a different pillow. But most probably it was just one night.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Otherwise please close and rate the answer.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
