Should i worry about circulation problems? my arm was numb when i woke up, & it didn't take as quickly to get back to normal.took about a full minute.

Probably not: most likely cause is pressure on nerve causing numbness. Check pulses and blood pressure in both arms and if blood pressure is equal your arteries should be good

Numb: Circulation is not the problem If it continues see a neurologist as it sounds like a nerve compression
