Hands and arms go numb

AsrarHussain

I have started running outside and have noticed after I finish my run. My hands, arms and shoulders feel numb and heavy.

What could be causing this. I am on a couch to 5k program and I'm on the first week which includes running for 8 minutes in 1 minute increments.

This would be an awesome question for your doctor. Could literally be anything. I'd be concerned if I was going numb after a run.

Are you dressing warm enough? Are you running clenching your hands and tensing your arms?
