What Causes Heaviness In Arm And Elevated Bp?

It feels as thought the bottom half of my left arm is heavy. A few days ago my right arm and both legs felt the same way. Went to urgent care last night. My BP was slightly elevated . They think it was stress. I went through a battery of normal tests - walking, sensitivity, breathing, eyes, ears, mouth. I am overweight. 5 8 and 280, but have been actively working out. Used to be 290 or more.

Hello,

This is could be cervical problems. Still we need to rule out the heart disease. You should get one treadmill test done. I would also advise for cervical spine x-ray ap/lat view and nerve conduction studies. After confirming the diagnosis, we would go for treatment.

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

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
