Hi worrigirl92,

Yes. We are here for you. Please explain a little more as to what is going on. Do you have any idea what is causing the numbness, such as did you bend your arms fo long periods of time or did you hurt yourself? Numbness in the limbs, be it arms or leggs can be contributed to many things, from the kind of medicines you take to poor circulation, menapause, etc. With such limited information, that is the best I can answer. Why are you upset and if who felt the same way?


Good Luck,

Faded Rose

I am apparently have Anxiety Attacks. Its usually my left arm that is feeling numb. I am having bad chest(my breast) pains. I also feel weird in the head, like I don't feel like myself. I keep thinking about death, and I keep thinking I won't be around the next day. I just want to know ways that will help calm me down. I just can't help thinking if I have some kind of cancer or a heart problem.

I have the same problem. Both my arms went numb and it scared me really bad. I went to the Dr. and then i found out it was anxiety as well. im glad to hear other people have the same problem. i mean that i am not alone. but i still feel numb in my arms and i wish it would go away but worrying about it just makes it worse
