Hi kieron,
Any time we have a change in our Migraine patterns or symptoms, it is always a good idea to discuss them with out doctor. Since we are not medical professionals we cannot tell you for sure what is going on with your arms and it is always best to contact your doctor.
During the aura phase of a Migraine, some people do experience similar feelings, but since this is a new symptom for you, please contact your doctor. Our article Anatomy of a Migraine has details on the four phases of a Migraine attack. Continue reading on for more information: Anatomy of a Migraine.
Good luck
Nancy
