Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
Weakness in left side of body could be due to generalized anxiety disorder, but first try to rule out any underline nerve compression. You should consult a neurologist and get your MRI scan done. If it come normal and there is no issue in cervical vertebrae, then it may be due to anxiety disorder.
