Question 1

why do my hands feel heavy all the time how do i make them feel light?

Accepted Answer

: Are your hands swollen? You should have your physician see them to be certain you don’t have swelling related to edema, for example. It is not possible to diagnose the reason for your sensation without seeing them. Good luck to you!

Question 2

my arm goes numb from my shoulder to my hand and feels heavy.  sometimes i get a sharp pain also. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Numb arm: Possible Nerve compression.
follow with neurologist.
Good luck

Question 3

i always wake up with swollen fingers nd my arms and hand feel heavy nd with a bit of pain what can be causing this ? can this be a due to my anxiaty

Accepted Answer

NOT anxiety: Painful swollen fingers may be due to some form of 'auto-immune' arthritis. Simple blood tests (sed rate/crp) can quickly test for inflammation and confirmatory testing (ccp, ra, ana)  may be neeed. I would get seen by primary care doctor. For now you can take nsaids (i suggest Aleve (naproxen) 2 in am, 2pm). Anxiety should not cause edema per se. Hope you are better soon!

Question 4

hi, i have this aching headache at the top of my scalp and the back of my head, and i feel quite dizzy, especially when i turn my head. when i walk i feel like i'm gonna fall. my hands feel a little heavy too. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: These sensations aren’t normal. I would be seen in person this week for an evaluation to figure out what is going on (I.e. dehydration, anemia, vertigo, etc)

Question 5

fell into a very cold lake for about a minute earlier today. my hands are now feelings a little "heavy"/tingly.could this be related to the accident?

Accepted Answer

Yes: You are probably experiencing a localized histamine release and changes in blood vessel permeability, the itching is next.  This process will be short lived.  If it continues, or spreads and is persistent several hours later, care should be sought as this could be related to another cause that may require direct attention.

Question 6

rt handed but usually do heavy lifting with left. now  im trying to build strength in rt arm everything feels extra heavy even light things. normal?

Accepted Answer

Likely: The extremity used most tend to develop more muscle and be slightly stronger, tho not always evident. Weight lifting is great to build muscle but do not use heavier weights on the "weaker" arm to compensate; use same weights on both sides and your strength will soon equalize.

Question 7

i'm 16 yrs and 1 month old and want to lift weight of 5kgs on each hands..tell the advantages and disadvantages? will it affect growth in any manner?

Accepted Answer

Keep doing it: It has no real disadvantages and will not affect growth. Strength training is almost always a good thing.

Question 8

why in night time i have heavy feeling in hands and feet?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: Many things can cause a heaving feeling in your hands and feet.  The fact that this is happening at night may be a diagnostic clue.  See a doctor for a thorough history and physical.

Question 9

my hands started to shake and feel heavy. is this anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: This could be anxiety but your physician would need to look into other  causes such as neurologic.

Question 10

why do i feel sudden vibration inside my left hand and i feel it heavy too?

Accepted Answer

Nerve?: I am not sure, but maybe you have a nerve being irritated and that is causing your "vibration" feeling.  If you use your hand/wrist often, then inflammation can occur, causing a ?pinch" on nerve-such as in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and some people describe a vibration feeling with this.  Good luck.
