Answers:
where was your arm.? was it above your head or heart.? It was probably just asleep. Sometimes when I wake up I can feel some weird object and then I realize its my arm but it feels numb and gross and freaks me out. You just have to shake it with the other arm like you did. It happens because your arms are higher than your heart and so the blood doesn't flow correctly or flows weird or something, like when your feet tingle feeling like ants crawling and are asleep. Was this it.?.?Health Question & Answer

I've had that happen before. My arm was completely asleep, and I thought I had it moving but I didn't. I just had to get the blood flow going. If it happens often without you sleeping on it, than I would at least get a checkup. If it's rare, it's likely you just slept on it and it takes a bit for the blood flow to straighten out.Health Question & Answer

It happens to me when i put my arm under my pillow or something, its probably the blood can't circulate, so it won't move. I've done it many times, and i don't see anything wrong, But now i don't sleep in that position anymore.Health Question & Answer

i agree, you slept on it in your sleep, and upon waking and shaking your arm, you stimulated the blood supply back into it, thus regaining the movement in it. It happens, i'm afraid!

glad your feeling better now though!

take care

You probably just slept on it without realizing it, and it went numb, due to limited blood supply. By shaking your arm, you introduced blood flow again to the area. Hope this helped, though i'm no doctor!
Good luck!Health Question & Answer

That sometimes happens when you sleep on a limb wrong and it falls asleep. Shaking it makes blood flow back into it and "wakes" it up so it moves again.Health Question & Answer
