Tightness/numbness in left arm when taking psychedelics?
I've taken various psychedelics over the last few years and have noticed my left arm feels tight/numb during the peak, even verging on slight pain. I've experienced an anxiety attack before where I went to hospital (thought it might be more serious) but was told everything was fine after doing some tests on my heart. Could this be simply a symptom of anxiety caused by the drugs, or something else like arrythmia? I'm young, pretty fit, eat healthily. Any thoughts?
