A member asked:
Are there any types of herbal or otc remedy for bad circulation that causes your arm to fall asleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: First an evauation to confirm a circulation problem needs to be done. A nerve that is being pinched or carpal tunnel syndrome can have similar symptoms. Once a DX is made a targeted therapy can be implemented.
