weakness in arms and shoulders Posted: 06-21-08 15:45pm
i am male, 61, pretty good shape, lightly
over weight, work construction, and i
have had a small number of times latel
when i would feel a tingling in my
shoulders and arms and i began to feel
the strengh and energy in my arms go out
like it was being drained and would get to
feeling very funny and have to set down
and lay my arms on my legs as i had little
strenght to hold them up and shortly i
would get to feeling better and get my
strenght back and i would go on with my
day, but i had one this week and i was
home and i have a blood pressure tester
and i tested it during this time and it
was not bad, 148 over 83 or there
abouts, i have an idea what it sounds
like to me but have no proof, and i have
no health insurance so i go to no doctors
and consequently i just let it go, do
you have an idea what i may have going on?
thank you,

Do you think this could be symptoms of a
heart attack?
What is your diet like? People who are
overweight, and even people who aren't,
are at risk for heart attack. That's what
it sounds like to me.

i have thought of the heart attack and
also i know that there is a possibility
that if a person can not raise arms, or
smile or say a sentence it can be a
stroke, but i have no idea, but the
light stroke is what come to mind first,
or the heart attack, but i am not really
over weight to speak, just maybe 10 lbs,
and i eat pretty good as i have been on a
diet and i rarely drink alcohol nor do i
smoke, but my family has a history of
heart disease and stroke, so i guess it
is up for grabs,

sounds like it might be a disc Posted: 07-02-08 10:09am
You might want to have your neck checked
out for disc problems.
