Accepted Answer

See below: Your stomach symptoms and hand symptoms aren't related. Without the ability to question you, know your medical history and examine you it would be impossible to
give you any helpful advice.  If your symptoms continue I suggest you see a physician for a proper evaluation.

Question 2

past week, novacaine feeling right side lip & tongue. right hand & foot tingly, falling asleep feeling & top of head tingling. should i be concerned?

Yes.: Yes.  While transient numbness is usually nothing to worry about, numbness that persists this long may be a sign of serious illness.  You should consult a physician.

Question 3

why would part of my right hand falls asleep at night?

Accepted Answer

Nerve problem: You have pressure on a nerve in your arm. Either the median nerve in the carpal tunnel at the wrist or the ulnar nerve at the cubital tunnel at the elbow. Carpal tunnel syndrome will include the thumb, index and long finger as cubital tunnel will be the little finger. Stop sleeping with your wrist or elbow bent (flexed). Then see s specialist.

Question 4

Question 6

i'm feeling extremely tired despite getting 8 hrs sleep a night, falling asleep during day. episodes of  numbness over top of head on left hand side. ?

Accepted Answer

Quantity vs Quality: While you're describing an adequate quantity of sleep, you may be suffering from poor quality sleep, for instance, sleep apnea, which can lead to inappropriate sleeping during the day. Numbness is more worrisome and needs to be evaluated by your Family Doc. If it happens again (especially w/loss of strength), call 911 &amp; get thee to an ER to evaluate for possible stroke (remember FAST).

Question 7

why does my right hand become tingly and painful enough to awaken me at night? it's like my hand "falls asleep " but it feels like painful pins and needles

Accepted Answer

Classic : Classic carpal tunnel syndrome.  That might surprise you because there is a myth that carpal tunnel syndrome is pain with typing.  Carpal tunnel syndrome is numbness that wakes you at night and it is genetic, so don't change anything you do. Try wearing a wrist splint at night to help you sleep.  If you get numb even with the splint on, or if you have numbness that is either constant or lingers and you can't shake it out easily, then it's time to see a hand surgeon.

Question 8

my hands (90% my right hand and 10% my left hand) falls asleep while i sleep. it happens even if i keep my arms straight or bent during the night.

Accepted Answer

See ortho: You need to consult an orthopedic surgeon about this I would guess that carpal tunnel syndrome would be one of the possibilities. The problem is likely at the wrists.

Question 9

45/f. arm & hand pain while sleeping. also wake up w/ arms tingling from arms falling asleep during night. pain also wakes me up at night. ?

Accepted Answer

Possible Carpal Tun: There are other possibilities, but the most likely cause for your symptoms is carpal tunnel syndrome. This is the result of compression of the median nerves at the wrists and it is common for people to wake up to "shake out the numbness."  i would recommend that you see a neurologist, but while you are waiting you can ice the wrists, try otc ibuprofen, and buy carpal tunnel splints for nighttime.

Question 10

how can i prevent my hands from falling asleep?

Accepted Answer

Sleeping hands: It sounds like you are having tingling in your hands, this is often related to nerve problems in the hands, carpal tunnel syndrome is one form of this.  You cannot prevent this if it is happening, but you can see your physician for testing to determine the cause.
