A member asked:
My both arms including hand became numb for good 4-5 hours and eventually resolved on its own individually with hour apart, should i be concerned??? this has happened first time with me. what can be the reason??

If this is the only time it has happened,it is likely from leaning on something for a period of time compressing nerves in the armpit area or lower(depending on how much of your arms was numb).Think back to what you were doing before that.Could be sleep position also or certain activities with arms in certain positions(cyclists get this sometimes).Observe and if it recurs, consult with your doctor
