Why Does My Arm Feel Like A Dead Weight?

I am a 23 year old female. My arm feels like dead weight only when it s at a 90 degree angle to my body (bent at the elbow) when it s extended down, it feels fine. This feeling isn t constant throughout the day, but it s consistent. I ve noticed it now for about a week or two.
