can anxiety cause weak arms a legs at the same time as im trying to over come my health anxiety but today all of a sudden this morning my arms and legs started to feel weak and I started to panic abit but ive managed to to keep telling myself all day that it is probly just anxiety and kept myself busy but I keep getting waves of feeling feeling really anxiouse and thinking what if its not anxiety its something else ,I don't want to run up to my gp like I normaly do when I get any aches or pains for reassurance , so just thought id ask on here if it just could be anxiety and if you can give me some advice on what to do, for the best

Yes it can. If you think about your fight or flight response being sent on high alert (which is what happens when you are anxious) it is a bit like the cave man running away from a Dinosaur which would make him feel quite weak I think :)
