A member asked:

My right hand and forearm feel warm. my left hand feels normal. i have anxiety problems but i don't know if its related. should i even be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't be worried: You might start by asking your primary care physician about your concern. After any physical problem causing this has been ruled out your physician can refer you to a mental health professional for evaluation and treatment if necessary. Anxiety problems are often behind physical complaints like warmth in the hand and arm.
