A member asked:
What would cause your arm and face to feel heavy and dead? like when you wake ip and cant move your arm cuz no blood flow but it happens when im awake
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Starts when sleep?: Does this problem always occur during sleep? Do you sleep with your arm under your head? You may suffer from arm numbness from the weight of your head during sleep blocking circulation in the arm that gets better when you wake up and change position. Hope that helps.
