Is it bad if your fingers tingle and get numb while playing games?

May have carpal: Tunnel syndrome. Holding wrist in specific positions can trap the median nerve causing these symptoms. You should see your physician for a physical exam and possible emg. Try doing stretching exercises to see if they help relieve the symptoms. Also discuss bracing with your physician. Hope that helps!
