Several times at night i'll wake with my hands and arms feeling like they're a sleep and numb. sometimes it's just one hand and arm. this morning it's just the forearm into the thumb area. could this carpel tunnel?

: You are likely correct, as carpal tunnel syndrome would appear the most likely answer. Your doctor could order an EMG/ NCS of both arms which could help pinpoint causation. A hand specialty consult may be useful. Wrist splints at night might have mitigate symptoms.
