Feeling numbness in my fingers on holding my cell phone or on sleeping on my hand after a short period of time. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Numbness: Have you ever had the sensation of your foot "falling asleep" if you are sitting very still in a chair without moving? Same thing. If you cut off the blood supply to the nerve it sends out a tingly feeling. If you move around slightly and the circulation returns the feeling of normality returns.
