I've been having this weird tingling (almost itchy) feeling on a specific spot on my upper left arm for a month now.
When it started about a month ago, I thought it could be due to me stretching my arm in an awkward manner to drag my heavy luggage. The feeling kinda disappears after a while, or perhaps I didn't pay attention to it. But about a week ago, it started coming back at the same specific spot. Today, it seems to progress to a dead arm syndrome on my left hand - the kind of feeling you get when you sit on your hand for some time. I've been feeling like this all afternoon after a company meeting.
I think it's due to poor blood circulation, but it usually doesn't last more than a few minutes for me and I could usually attribute it to something I do, e.g. raising my arm for a long time, etc. This time I can't tag it to anything. I suspect it's that tingling spot causing it, but I can't be sure.
I tried consulting Google (yes, I know it's a bad thing to do), but I can't get any good explanations other than stroke, MS, impending heart attack, and all that bad stuff. It's not helping my health anxiety at all.
Has anyone felt this before? I need some assurance...
