Sensations of weakness and numbness especially over several fingers may indicate that you have carpal tunnel syndrome, which is an inflammation of the median nerve and compression as it passes under the Carpal ligament in your wrist. Treatment includes rest, ice, stretching exercises and antiinflammatory meds. See a Dr if it worsens as they may choose to cut the ligament trapping the nerve.

Carpal tunnel syndrome could be confirmed or excluded via an EMG/ NCV test. A hand specialist could be of great value. Do not guess on your own. Contact your doctor, have appropriate testing, and proceed proactively.
