Arm and leg weakness

I have been expiriencing arm and leg weakness on my left side for about a week now almost like I feel that side isn't as strong as the other. It's not so much numb it just feels weaker. My aunt is a nurse and said my strength was the same on both sides. Can anxiety cause this issue?

I’m exactly the same, it’s put me in a panic. Mine is my right side. My friend also checked & said I don’t feel weak. It’s so hard to understand. Is yours any better?

I have the same issue. Also tingling in my face, I have a MRI next week.

How are you feeling

I’ve had an MRI & it was all clear. The neurologist couldn’t feel any weakness either. Anxiety is a strange beast!!!!!

Yes, actually. It was 100% my anxiety. I get anxiety on and off. I’ve come to realize the more I worry about an issue i expirence, the worse the issue is. I hope you get feeling better too!
