What causes sudden weakness and lightheaded?
Patient: Two days ago I was sitting in my chiropractic waiting room. Suddenly I felt very weak and I could not move my arms. Both of them felt very heavy. I felt light headed. After my adjustment, I felt weak and light headed. It took all I had to drive myself home. I have not had any symptoms since then. Doctor: Hi Hope this message finds you in good health.I have gone through your complaints and understand your concern.I generally see many cases like this at my clinic.such symptoms are caused by hypoglycemia or gastritis or a generalised weakness.if it happens again,get a blood investigation done.You should eventually get back to normal in coming few days.Nothing to worry about.     I hope your question has been answered.If you have any follow-up queries,feel free to consult me anytime.Thanks,Take care,God bless.
