Many things can. The most obvious are CVA's (strokes or cerebrovascular accidents) TIA's (mini-strokes or transient ischemic attacks), palsies (such as Bell's palsy, although it is more known for its causing facial drooping), neuromas, and other types of nerve impingements. Numbness on one side is almost always a symptom of a significant problem and will almost never go away if ignored. See a doctor as soon as you can.

∙ 10y agoWell, if it is only in one arm (not including the right leg or face as well - which could indicate stroke) then I would say probably nerve irritation, pressure or damage, most likely occurring somewhere between where the nerve leaves the spine, and the arm. It could be from muscle tension or inflammation somewhere along the nerve causing pressure or irritation of the nerve.
I get it from inflammation in my spine. I have Arthritis, disk damage and osteophytes (bone spurs) so the spaces where the nerves exit the spine are small. All it takes is a little inflammation to cut off the nerve flow. The best thing I've found for me is yoga and stretching, 800 mg of ibuprofen and some visits with my massage therapist.
