Knumb hands

Does anyone else get knumb hands at night or in the morning?

I only seem to get it when I’m lying down it’s really annoying and I don’t know why it’s started happening I’ve had it for around 3 months now.

I do have anxiety quite bad but even when I’m not that anxious I’m still getting it please help.

Had blood tests etc and all are fine 

Could it be from antidepressants

Are you laying in your hands?

A little but I always do and it never happened before

My hands and feet recently started doing the same thing but once I wake up, it stops

Is your back or neck sore?  I have gotten this on and off over the years.  Every time I forget about it that is when it hits.  For myself, I get numb a few inches below my elbow.  Sometimes they go numb just laying down before I fall asleep.  Other times I wake up with it them numb.  I think for myself it has something to do with inflammation in my back or neck pinching nerves.  Perhaps my pillow is too high or whatever.  Often if I roll off my back into a different position it goes away quickly.  It's part of my long list of things that I need to get checked out.

Hi. Yes I have had numb hands. I'm not sure what does it tbh. I know the tingling sensation is usually down to the adrenaline rush we get when we feel anxious or panicked. I too only get it when I sleep. I don't thinknits anything serious. I also suffer with neck and shoulder tension so it could possible that as previously suggested. It may be worth mentioning it to you Dr at your next appointment they may be able to shed some light upon it. I'm certain it's to do with stress tension and anxiety though.

Mines the same it’s only when I’m sleeping

I sometimes get a tingling sensation in my face as well when I have a headache. My teeth becomes sensitive and my jaw becomes locked....

I get the same although with me it seems to be from my disability.

It is worse in the winter, my hands bocome numb when driving. At night and next morning I also have same problems. Generally it seems to be caused by bad circulation, it clears when I get up

Mind in the summer when driving long distances my hands become numb, I need to flex my fingers on my right hand side. 

Keep flexing your fingers when it happens, I know many able bodies who get the same thing so stop worrying
