What does it mean if i''m having numbness in arms when laying down?'
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible neck: It seems that the neck position during laying down may be causing pinching of nerves in the neck. Try to simulate the same position in sitting position to see if you can trigger numbness in arms if you keep it for same amount of time that recumbent position is needed to get your symptoms. See a neurologist.
