Waking Up with Numbness or Tingling in Your Hands?

Показать описание
Dr. Gregg Gerstin discusses the feeling of numbness and tingling in hands. Do you ever wake up and get that feeling? Don’t ignore it, watch this video to learn more!

Have you ever heard of carpal tunnel syndrome, pins and needles health conditions, or peripheral neuropathy? Today’s video is about a symptom related to these health conditions, and that’s a feeling of numbness or tingling waking up, specifically in your hands. This is closely related to the cervical curve in your neck above your spine and is something that is also closely related to how you sleep. While we get many patients who have felt these sensations in the past and just shook it off (literally), we highly recommend visiting a chiropractor to help get to the root of the symptom and cause.

If you’re not able to see a chiropractor just yet, you can do some daily motions. Try to stretch your head as far left and right as you can and try nodding moving your head as far up and down as you can. In this video, I also demonstrate these stretches so that you can help relieve the tingling and numbness feeling while you wait to see a chiropractor.

When you said sleeping on your stomach, my heart sank because that’s how I normally sleep. I’ve been waking up for months with either my entire left or right leg asleep and I’ve had no idea why.

Been searching for awhile now for some better explanation to this. But u described my symptoms perfectly. My former primary care physician brushed it off as arthritis but this DOES NOT feel associated to arthritis at all!! Never had this problem before but for the past 2yrs it has gradually gotten worse. The tingling in my arms & hands gets so bad that it wakes me up. It is becoming impossible to sleep. Somethn is not circulating blood to my hands & arms when i sleep. I don't know ANY arthritis patient that suffers from this. Wake up with a stiff neck. I almost have to lay coffin flat for it not to happen. If my neck is slightly bent, my arms & hands will go numb. Please help. I am in the Raleigh, NC area.

Thank you, Dr. Greg! I’m looking for a new chiropractor because mine retired. Though I have some challenges now, because I am in the process of moving. With all the lifting, triggered what I historically have had carpal tunnel, but instead of a few fingers going numb, it’s my whole hand. I’m on my way to Iowa area, if anyone in Cedar, Rapids, or Des Moines comes to mind (because I’ll be commuting between the two areas) feel free to let me know. Thank you very much! Many blessings!❤

Hello Dr. Thanks for sharing this valuable information. I also have the same problem every night. I woke up twice or thrice every night with the numbness and tingling in my fingers especially on last two fingers.

Thank you for sharing. This is exactly what I am going thru. So started to sleep on a lazy boy because every time I get up. Or try to lay flat. I get very dizzy. At first it was great cause I wasn’t feeling dizzy any more but now I do wake up with this feeling in my left arm. And I do ride a scooter and while I ride a get a second wave pins and needles. I live in Los angeles Metro are. Please recommend someone. Plus I have county insurance just a heads up.

I used to be side sleeper all the time and just this past year I have been waking up with completely numb arms. It’s actually scary because they are limp and I always think im about to have a heart attack

Hi Dr. It's been weeks already I feel the tingling or numbness in my body for such a moment and will went away. Can you suggest that I will see a Chiropractor? Also I have back & butt pains.

A few months ago, had a temp position of repetitious wrist movements that, I believe aggravated wrists issues bilaterally. I quit working. But recently, about the last couple weeks, when I wake, ( always in prone position), my hands are numb and my shoulder area is not painful but certainly uncomfortable enough that I'm unable to lay down again in any position. I have made Dr. appt. It's not for another 3 weeks. My wrists ache during the day but are not painful. I do have recent iv drug use hx. Heroin and meth. Quit heroin 3 months ago and meth 1 month ago. Do you think this could all be related to iv use? I apologize for the long question! Also, what should this Dr look at on initial examination?

Hello Doc,
Been having numbness in hands and weird like paralysis not often mostly numbness or tingling in my hands while I’m sleeping . In the day I feel tingling only when my hands are positioned where my arm is bent. Once I move positions the numbness or tingling goes away. I also noticed that bone on my inner part of the arm hurts to the touch on both arms. After googling it seems like golfers elbow but I don’t golf. Also, major neck stiffness. Thanks for any feedback..😊

Hello! I have been getting the arms falling asleep problems at night lately. On and off neck soreness over the years and migraines since I was young. Do you know anyone in the Hudson Valley in upstate NY? I’m in Dutchess County. Thank you!

Hello doctor.

I started getting tingling and numbness in my right pinky and ring fingers (mostly the finger tips) tingling and get numb when I hold stuff too long such as a computer mouse and my cell phone. This happened right after (same day) I used an acupuncture device I bought from amazon so I firmly believe that is what caused it.

Even though my condition was caused from acupuncture on the arm and hand do you believe these exercises would be useful for me or are there other exercises you could recommend for me to reduce numbness and tingling in my pinky and ring finger?

I've had arm pain since I was young when I played sports then in my early 20s I started to have numbness in my hands as I slept in my hands on my back. I'm now in my early 30s and have tried exercises but nothing helps.

Oh my I’m so glad I found you. So I’ve been having tingling in my hands and feet depending most of the time if I’m bending over, and the hand tingles usually proceed facial tingling. I know I have a tmj issue, and have already had a mri of my head and neck, which came back fine. Nerve conduction study was fine ect. It’s almost like no one can figure it out.
