Woke up with both arms and neck numb
Hi guys, I just woke up after being asleep for maybe 3-4 hours with both of my arms completely numb and tingling and weak from my fingers all the way to my neck.
I’ve definitely had an arm fall asleep before if I fall asleep on my side at times, but never has the sensation extended all the way up to my forearm and certainly never all the way into my neck or to both arms simultaneously.
I woke up in a panic thinking my whole body was paralyzed. After about an hour of being up (at 3am) I am able to move my arms but the heavy feeling in both arms and the back of my neck hasn’t gone away, I’m afraid to go back to sleep.
Has this happened to anyone else? Should I go to the hospital? I’m really scared. I’ve only been diagnosed for a month and I’m still getting my bearings and figuring out what is an emergency and what can wait til my next appointment.
