A member asked:
I am on blood pressure meds and my left hand fingers are numb, why are they num?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
neuritis: Your symptoms suggest neuritis. Since it's unilateral (affecting only 1 hand), compression is the most likely cause. Compression can occur at a higher level, but carpal tunnel syndrome is the more common cause. A more thorough eval will lead to the cause.
