I had these symptoms (~2003) when I would work out or go running my entire left side would go limp and Into spasms causing me to fall or sit. In minutes I was okay. A spinal tap provided the unlikely diagnosis of relapsing/remitting MS. I was symptom free for five years until Dec 2015 & was looking for a natural remedy for these new arm problems...

I have had the same thing. This morning, I was driving and thought I might have to stop the car. It lasted a minute or two and the thing that popped in my head was MS. I guess it is time to go to the doc to check it out!

My arms are so heavy all the time it's echuasting. I also have a constant brain fog. All I can ever think about is when I get to rest and put my arms down. Dragging my arms around makes it hard to motivate myself to get up because carrying my arms around is so much work, and takes so much concentration. I'm 27, have struggled with anemia. I've tried to increase my iron intake, and started taking a simple kids mutlipe vitamin, and I started antidepressants in case it's depression tied. It's been constant for about 3 years.

I have issues with pressure across my chest while both arms go limp and feel numb. It lasts for a few minutes and passes. I've been to my cardiologist and he has done an angiogram, nuclear street test and EKG. Nothing has shown up. I've taken my nitro pill and seems to have no affect. I have been under stress lately but I don't feel stress when this starts. It happens when I'm standing. My doctor gave me a Rx for Xanax by I can't take them at work. I don't know if it is neurological or muscular. My cardio says it may be muscle spasm but I can't see that being the case. Any suggestions?

Interesting reply. I found it was an antidepressant called Amitriptyline 10 mg that seemed to cause it. Taking it for migraine. Also sinus sprays Otrivine seems to cause it.

I had simultaneous tingling starting in my hands and going to my shoulders, then my arms felt very heavy. It would last a couple of minutes, then pass. When I explained the symptoms to my physician, she took me off of my Simvistatin for high cholesterol. She said statins can cause this.

Always happens when I'm at the computer. Realize posture poor due to other problems from it. I think this may be the cause. Thank you.

I also have ocular migraines, and have noticed that they only occur when I have eaten foods that contain the preservatives nitrates or nitrites, such as commonly used in cold cut meats, ham, sausage, etc. As long as I avoid these foods, I do not have the ocular migraines.

I have these exact same symptoms. I associate them with my MS diagnoses. Hope you have found answers to your problems.
