I m a healthy 60yr old woman, & actually just had a recent checkup, but this is the 2nd time I ve experienced this symptom
I am a neurologist from the Cleveland, Ohio region of the world. This is not an infrequent problem among people of all ages and most likely represents overexertion of your upper limb muscles in carrying heavy grocery bags. This is not likely to be a vascular problem mainly based on the fact that you are feeling the symptoms in both upper extremities at the same time and with the same relative intensity. There is no vascular disease that would acutely come on in this way in an otherwise healthy woman. If you would like to discuss this problem at greater length then, you may write to me at
