Dr. Alvin Lin answered

Carpal tunnel syndro: Waking up at night w/tingling in hands may be a sign of carpal tunnel syndrome, especially if isolated to thumbs, index, middle & half of ring fingers. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/carpal-tunnel-syndrome/basics/definition/con-20030332 for more info. Your Family Doc can arrange for testing to confirm diagnosis & refer to Hand Surgeon for carpal tunnel release.
