Many people suffer from numbness in their hands and fingers. By sharing, you will be helping more people. So share there!

And tell me: do you suffer from numbness in your hands and fingers? Is it more at night? What part of Brazil or the world are you from ?

Write down there! Come on! When we think about dormancy we have to think about 2 things.

In circulation or in innervation. And sometimes the two together. In the case of lack of circulation — when something is preventing enough blood from reaching the extremities, the person can also have a pins and needles sensation, which we call paresthesia.

If it is because of innervation, it can be caused by injury, irritation or compression of one of the nerves or a branch of one of the nerves in your arm or wrist, or even the central nervous system: which is the brain and the spinal cord, in which case weakness in the arms may also occur. I have separated the 10 most common causes of numbness and tingling in hands and fingers, with the last cause being the most frequent, so stay until the end! Number 10 Cause of Numbness in Hands and Fingers: Vitamin B-12 Deficiency Vitamin B-12 is one of those very important vitamins for the functioning of the nerves, the brain, and also for the manufacture of red blood cells and DNA synthesis.

What are the symptoms of b12 deficiency: anemia, as it helps in the production of red blood cells, pallor, fatigue, weakness, dizziness, loss of reflexes, confusion and even dementia. And, of course, tingling or loss of sensation in the hands and feet. You have to do blood tests to be sure.

Values ​​below 190pg/ml are considered deficiency, some laboratories a little more, or a little less. And the deficiency can be due to age, which doesn't absorb properly, autoimmune gastritis and lack of intrinsic factor, or, that person who has been vegetarian or vegan for a long time, or has had bariatric surgery. Treatment: If you have a disability, you have to treat it.

It can be oral, sublingual, or injectable B12, depending on what your doctor thinks is best for you. Cause #9 of Numbness in Hands and Fingers: Heart Attack During a heart attack, a coronary artery becomes blocked. And this clogging of the arteries of the heart can cause numbness or pain in the left arm.

But it's usually in the entire left arm and it's along with chest pain like heaviness or tightness and sweating, tiredness. I've seen a heart attack with numbness in the isolated hand, especially in the little finger. But it is rare for numbness, alone, to be a sign of a heart attack.

Cause Number 8 of Hand Numbness: Stroke Another common cause of hand numbness, but again, it's not just in the hand. It's the whole arm that goes numb, it's the face that goes numb, and usually there's weakness or paralysis in that limb. The person is unable to lift the arm, or move the hand.

In a few cases, even subtle symptoms, such as numbness in one hand, weakness that comes and goes, can be symptoms of a stroke. What are the other symptoms of a stroke? headache, difficulty in coordination or balance mental confusion, difficulty seeing speech problems deviation of rhyme- mouth is drooping So, the tingling of the hands and fingers with any of these symptoms you have to remember the stroke, and, in this case, time is brain, the faster you get to the hospital, the lesser the sequelae.

Cause Number 7- Circulatory Problems Numbness in the hands can be caused by lack of blood flow. When can it happen? When a person has a lot of fatty plaque, generalized atherosclerosis, and it is clogging one of the arteries in the arm or wrist, it can lead to numbness.

In other cases we have to remember in rheumatological diseases or in Raynaud's syndrome, when the blood vessels of the fingers and sometimes the feet turn pale, bluish and purple, when they are suddenly exposed to cold or even to stress. And this is due to the change in blood circulation. In this case, you may have numbness in your hands and fingers.

Cause Number 6: Multiple Sclerosis Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that has recently been linked to the Epstein Barr virus (the kissing disease). When a person has multiple sclerosis, the body's immune system mistakes the cells in the myelin sheath of neurons as if they were invading cells, and begins to attack them, causing damage to the myelin sheath that would be like an electrical tape on our neurons that pass the electrical stimulus more quickly. And multiple sclerosis is usually diagnosed in young patients, between 20 and 40 years, especially women, and affects the brain, the nerve of vision leading to optic neuritis and the spinal cord.

Other symptoms are excessive fatigue, loss of muscle strength, memory loss, and paresthesias or numbness in the arms, hands and fingers. Number 5 Cause of Numbness in Your Hands: Medicines and Drgs If you've had chemotherapy, know that it can damage nerves, causing peripheral neuropathy. But it's not just chemotherapy that can cause this.

Antidepressants are known to cause tingling and numbness in the hands. And very prescribed antibiotics from the quinolone class: ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin can also cause neuropathy. Some patients may recover completely after treatment is over, with the numbness being only temporary.

In other cases the numbness may be permanent. And heavy alcoholism can also damage the nerves, both due to the lack of vitamin, as well as with the commitment of the alcohol itself in the nerve endings. Cause Number 4 of Numbness in Hands: Bad Sleep Posture You may have slept on your arm and woken up with a numb arm and hands.

Heavy arm, you carry it with the other hand. Normally sleeping you may have compressed a nerve, or you may have temporarily reduced blood flow to that limb. If you shake your arm, change your position It will improve the symptoms And speaking of bad posture, we also have to think about problems in the spine, some pinching, herniated disc, since those that innervate the arms and hand originate in the spine.

That 's why compression of a nerve in the cervical region can cause pain and tingling in the arm. It can radiate to the fingers of the hands or even give a feeling of shock Cause number 3 of numbness in the hands: Leprosy Yes, Brazil is the second country with more cases of leprosy, what they called leprosy in the world, second only to India. And what are the signs and symptoms: those whitish, brownish, and brownish spots that have a change in sensitivity.

This is important, since leprosy is the only skin disease that has altered sensitivity. It can be totally anesthetized— You stab the spot and the person won't feel anything— or the sensitivity just slightly altered. And leprosy also causes neurological symptoms like tingling, numb hand, numb foot.

And there's a cure. It is treated with antibiotics. So if you have spots, numbness and numb hands and feet , you could be one of the 30,000 Brazilians who are afflicted with the disease Cause #2 of numbness in the hands: Diabetes.

Diabetes damages nerve! It causes peripheral neuropathy. And, an interesting thing, is that diabetic numbness usually starts in the feet and usually shows a boot pattern, where the numbness goes up from the toes to the legs, when the numbness reaches the calf is when the fingers to the hands, compromising on hands glove pattern.

Nearly half of all people with diabetes have some form of nerve damage. That's why it 's very important that you control your glucose well. We have a lot of videos on the diabetes channel, it's worth watching!

If you leave a high blood sugar it will corrode your nerves, increasing the risk of diabetic feet and even amputation. And the number one cause of tingling in the hand - the most common of all is carpal tunnel syndrome - here in the wrist. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve.

The carpal tunnel is a narrow passage of kuganebtis and bones on the palm side. When the median nerve is compressed, symptoms can include numbness, tingling, and weakness in the hand and arm. I have that.

It's interesting to notice which fingers of your hands are involved. If this numbness is from the thumb to the middle of the fourth finger, it is most likely the median nerve involved, and it is most likely the carpal tunnel. And the symptoms are worse at night when there is a redistribution of tissue fluid in the arms seen when there is no active muscle pump.

When sleeping we stay still, which swells the tissues, leads to increased carpal tunnel pressure or also when the wrist is bent in one position for a long time. What about carpal tunnel diagnosis? We have to take into account the symptoms and physical examination, but we can order nerve ultrasound and even electroneuromyography.

What about the Numb Hand Treatment? Depends on what your case is. Sometimes go to a neurologist, orthopedist, hand surgeon, physical therapist, or even, importantly, if you are diabetic, an endocrinologist to control and improve your blood sugar.

See your doctor, go after this symptom. To make the diagnosis and to treat, as soon as possible. Did you like the video?
