Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Over use Syndrome: The repetitive motion of being on a keyboard can at times lead to nerve damage or nerve impingement in your wrists. This tingling means you are most likely overdoing it and need rest or to change up the way you work on your keyboard. If you persist in not solving this problem you may get carpal tunnel and need surgery.

I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome (through history and bending wrists). My main symptom is when typing at my computer for 40+ minutes , my palms turn red and my hands feel very hot, burning even (rather than tingling). Is this really CTS?
