There are multiple medical causalities behind the feeling of a heavy arm. This can range from fatigue to a classic warning sign of cardiac arrest. These symptoms must be treated and responded to as medical emergency, especially in the latter.

Your left arm may feel heavy due to a lack of sufficient circulation. If you sleep on your arm or sit in one position for an extended length of time without moving your arm, this can also cause it to feel heavy. The heaviness may be accompanied by a tingling feeling. Occasionally, this can this can be a symptom of a heart attack. You should check with your doctor.

I think numbness in the right arm is a sign of stroke, but I'm not sure. Maybe you should call your doctor.

If you hit your head a week ago and now your left arm is heavy is it something to be concerned about?

More information is needed for a proper diagnosis but this particular scenario sounds very familiar - I, many years ago had a motorcycle accident in which I landed on my head. My right arm was very heavy for days, so heavy I could not even use it for eating. I had a pinched nerve in my cervical spine.Stand with your back up against a wall and try touch the wall with your neck, this exercise may separate the cervical vertebra to free the nerve.NOTE: I am a paramedic and not a doctor, if you feel that your problem might be more severe or you feel that you may cause any damage, please ignore the above and visit your General Practitioner.


Is the thing above your arm called the shoulder blade?

...probably not. The things above the arm are the shoulder, neck and head. With at least one of your arms, you are probably able to swing your arm back so that your hand is pointing up, palm against your spine, and your hand is as high up toward your head as you can get it. If it is your right arm, continue to curl your arm/hand toward your right shoulder. You'll feel the edge of a flat bone. That is your right shoulder blade. Ditto on the left.
