Does anyone know why anxiety makes you feel weak in arms and legs..?? Having a bad day and keep thinking about it. Nice if someone can explain xx

Not quite sure. Maybe its because your brain is exhausted? So it makes the rest of your body feel weak. I get the same thing, its very irritating. Sorry I couldn't provide more help. I hope your day gets better! Feel better ☺
