What Causes Sudden Numbness Of Arms?
I was just having a late lunch at a restaurant. I had two cups of coffee this morning and a couple of pcs of celery w/ peanut butter on them. I was drinking my lemonade when both arms from my biceps down to my hands went numb. I had pain in my chest and back and felt faint. It seemed to last a minute or so.
