According to healthline Numb hands are a common occurrence in the morning. Many people have the experience of their hands feeling like they’re about to fall asleep at some point in their lives. Numbness and pins and needles can have several causes; Healthline notes that sleeping in a posture that exerts pressure on your arm or hand is a common one. After repositioning yourself after waking up, the tingling and numbness should go away.

As tingling or numbness in the hands could indicate a more serious medical issue, it’s important to keep a close look out for any additional signs that may emerge.

I. The Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, a narrow canal on the palm side of the wrist. The most common symptoms are a sensation of tingling or numbness. Loss of grip strength is also a potential. Repetitive motions of the hands, such as using tools or typing, can lead to this condition. It can also be caused by being overweight or having a wrist injury.

Secondly, cervical spondylosis (in the neck)

Cervical spondylosis is typically brought on by the natural breakdown and deterioration of your cervical spinal disks as you get older.

This can cause bone spurs and disks to protrude, both of which are signs of osteoarthritis. Both can reduce the space in your cervical spine, putting pressure on your spinal cord or a nerve root and resulting in tingling and numbness in your hands and arms. A nerve root is crushed and the spinal cord is squished as a result of this.

Numbness in the legs and feet can accompany cervical spondylosis’s other symptoms, which include pain and stiffness in the neck.

Thoracic outlet syndrome, third (TOS)

Irritation, damage, or compression of the nerves or blood vessels in the upper chest and lower neck can lead to a collection of symptoms known as the thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS).

Compression of a nerve can cause a variety of symptoms, numbness in the forearm, hand, and fingers. Discomfort in the arms, hands, shoulders, and neck may also be present.

Arterial peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage).

In medicine, damage to the peripheral nerve system is referred to as “peripheral neuropathy,” which encompasses a spectrum of disorders with similar symptoms. This network acts as a conduit for information to and from the brain and spinal cord. Many medical issues can result in peripheral neuropathy.

The 5th Illness: Diabetes Mellitus

High blood sugar levels are a hallmark of diabetes mellitus, a chronic condition marked by a wide range of other health problems. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body either does not respond to insulin effectively or does not produce enough of the hormone.

Almost half of all diabetics have pain, numbness, or even paralysis in their hands due to nerve loss from conditions like peripheral neuropathy and carpal tunnel syndrome.

6: How you lay down to sleep

Inadequate circulation in the hands is another common cause of waking up with numb hands. Sleeping on a hand or arm may lead to this ailment. Numbness in the affected area is sometimes caused by a temporary decrease in blood flow. Changing how you look at a problem is often all it takes to find a solution to it.

A lack of vitamin B-12 (7th cause)

A deficiency in vitamin B-12 can lead to problems with DNA replication and the proper functioning of your brain and nervous system. Furthermore, it’s required during the production of RBCs (red blood cells).

Age, a family history of the ailment, and certain health disorders like gastritis and autoimmune illnesses can all contribute to a shortage in vitamin B-12. Vitamin B-12 insufficiency can manifest as loss of appetite, tingling and numbness in the feet, muscle weakness, and numbness in the hands.

Problematic alcohol consumption

Abnormal nerve tissue damage may occur when excessive amounts of alcohol are consumed. In medical terms, this is known as alcoholic neuropathy.

Extreme alcohol consumption has been linked to a variety of physical symptoms, numbness and pain in the extremities. Vitamin and nutrient deficits, particularly certain vitamins and nutrients necessary for healthy neuron function, are widespread among alcoholics. The reason for this is that an unhealthy diet is frequently found alongside excessive alcohol usage.
