A member asked:

Would vertigo cause weakness in my left arm.i was carrying something for a period of about ten minutes with that arm and now its been weak for some hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vertigo: No vertigo doesn't cause weakness in the arm. Heavy weight lift/carrying some times cause neural injury. Or stroke also causes this kind of weakness. I would suggest you to seek immediate medical help to rule out intra cranial pathology.
