What Causes Heaviness Sensation In Arms And Legs?
Question: What are somethings that might cause a 50 year old healthy woman to have constant heaviness in her arms and legs>
Brief Answer:
How long has this been going on?
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If this is a one time observation, there is no reason to be worried about. Monitoring only is advised. Normally, something like stroke cannot affect both arms/legs at the same time. The fact that both arms were affected makes stress more likely as that can be explained.
Keep me posted on this and especially if this occurs again.
