Hands asleep

Lately every night I wake up numerous times with one or both of my hands asleep. They feel numb on and off throughout the day, too. Anyone else have this and found anything that works? I have an appointment tomorrow and plan to ask my doctor as well. Thanks!

It might be a pinched nerve. I have this happen sometimes. I go for a massage and or a chiropractor appointment a day it goes away.

I was told with mine, it was carpal tunnel in my case. I wear braces.

I've been having this problem a well. Sometimes I wake up and my whole arm is numb. My apt is Thursday and I plan on bringing it up then.

I have it in my right hand/arm, doctor told me it was because of my carpel tunnel, I have a hand/arm brace that was specifically designed for my right hand and arm. Works awesome and I can wake up without my hand numb !! You can get the braces at pharmacy or Walmart ! They work amazing !!

I assumed it was carpal tunnel and I'm just suffering through. I guess I should talk to my dr about it and see if I should get a brace..

@Krysta6 my hospital makes personalized wrist braces for carpel tunnel. Maybe yous does too !

I never had this problem before pregnancy, and I've read it goes away afterwards. I definitely think I'll look into a brace from Walgreens.

It has been happening to me too, but only while I sleep. I assumed in my case it was due to the fact that I sleep propped up all night and put my upper body weight on my elbows thus causing restricted blood flow to my hands. They always feel better when I switch positions.

It happens to me, too. I find that it happens when I was laying on that hand.

I Recently Read That This Is Something That Does Happen During PRegnancy. May Need A Brace. Switch Your Sleeping Position. Try To Not Sleep With Your Hands Too Curled Up When You Sleep.
