No: When you're anxious, people often have all kinds of symptoms, it's your body telling you you're in emotional pain. Hope ypu feel better soon. Try meditation or deep breathing.

No: I don't think that anxiety would single out the left arm like that. If you get true intermittent numbness and heaviness and/or weakness of the left arm, i recommend en evaluation by a neurologist to check for problems with nerve impingement, circulatory problem, etc.
