Sudden weakness in hand

Hi I'm a 23 year old make up artist I like to think I'm healthy. I'm a healthy eater I love fish and take vitamins I do not however eat meat or dairy. Lately while working I would suddenly loose the power of my right hand and drop the brush I'm using. I've googled it but the answers are scaring me so just wanted to get a  second opinion please

Hi there!

Well, without a detailed description or a clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. Assuming this to be intermittent and non-progressive, possibilities that may need to be considered include anxiety/ stress/ psychological issues, nerve impingement/ compression, seizures, TIA etc. I would suggest getting this evaluated by a primary care physician initially and depending on the cause diagnosed/ suspected, it can be managed accordingly or specialist care may be sought.
Hope this helps.

Take care!
