MedHelp Member's Question

Am I OK?

Tags: stroke, Health, Heart, neurologist, years

For a couple months my left arm rises to heart level by itself. I have not had a stroke that I am aware of but find this increasingly odd. I am 51 years old and in good health. My Grandfather was a stroke victim but don't really know much about it beyond that. Should I be concerned?

During my TIA, my left arm floated up by itself and the neurologist said it is called "floating limb" and is seen in some stroke victims. I believe there are people that have had a small stroke and don't realize it. I would see your doctor...just to be safe.
