Question 1

what causes poor circulation to the left hand?

Accepted Answer

Hand circulation: If we assume poor circulation implies arterial blood flow any blockage in the arteries to the hand may impair the blood flow.  This may involve arteries from the chest all the way down to the small vessels in the fingers.  This may be related to a variety of conditions.  If symptomatic, suggest seeing a vascular surgeon.

Question 2

what can cause poor circulation in only the right hand?

Accepted Answer

Vascular disorders: Vascular problems can be classified into either traumatic, compressive, occlusive, tumors/malformations and vasospastic (spasm of the artery, which reduces its diameter and thus its blood flow). Vascular problems may occur in individuals with diabetes, hypertension, or kidney failure, or in dialysis patients. Occupational exposure (vibrating tools, cold) and smoking can be a factor too. See an md.
