What Causes Involuntary Movements In The Left Arm?

Sudden onset. My left arm felt like it was floating and would move involuntarily around. If I concentrated I could control it and bring it back by my side but otherwise it would float out 12 to 15 inches from my body and move in a seemingly random way. Lasted only a short time. No associated pain - just a very weird feeling.

Hi,

Consult a neurologist and get evaluated to rule out movement disorders like Parkinson's disease and essential tremor.

Detailed evaluation including an MRI scan is required.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
