A member asked:

Is it normal to wake up with a paralyzed arm? i could not feel anything from my shoulder to my finger tips and it literally was limp. i have been suffering with dry mouth, itchy vagina, pain in my knee or knee cap. blood tests negative for diabetes.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arm paralysis ? : A deep sleep can cause the normal subconscious body reaction to maintain a position which cuts off circulation and/or nerve compression, resulting in temporary "paralysis". If this has resolved within an hour or so, it may be related to alcohol, medications or just sleep deprivation over a few days, and is not a concern. If it continues, get referred to a neurologist.
