Possible Causes of Numbness or Tingling in Your Hands
Experiencing numbness or a tingling sensation in your hands, often described as “pins and needles,” can range from a minor inconvenience to an indicator of a more serious health condition. Below are some potential reasons behind this sensation:
1. Improper Sleeping Position
Sleeping in an awkward position, such as lying on your arm or hand, can compress nerves and restrict blood flow, resulting in temporary numbness. Adjusting your position usually resolves the issue quickly.
2. Repetitive Motions
Frequent use of your hands for repetitive tasks, such as typing or tool usage, can compress nerves, causing tingling. Carpal tunnel syndrome, a common condition, results from pressure on the median nerve in the wrist.
3. Vitamin B12 Deficiency
A lack of vitamin B12, essential for nerve health, can lead to numbness and tingling in the hands and feet. Additional symptoms may include muscle weakness and fatigue, especially in individuals with dietary restrictions or absorption issues like Crohn’s disease.
4. Electrolyte Imbalance
