Depends...: It all depends if this has happened before, if this has become gradual, etc. The most common reason for this is carpal tunnel syndrome in which one of the nerves that serves your hand gets inflamed due to repetitive hand movements, like writing a lot, typing, same hand motions for many hours and the like. Visit your doctor for exam and final diagnosis.
