My boyfriend works out really hard a lot of the time and sometimes his fingers go numb. why is this?

Question:

Answers:
While this cannot be confirmed without a proper exam by a medical professional, the most likely cause for this would be what is known as thoracic outlet syndrome. The nerves and blood supply for your arms goes through some very narrow spaces across your upper chest. If your shoulder or chest muscles are big because you've been using them hard, it can somewhat impinge on the blood/nerve supply. It's not life-threatening, but can be somewhat progressive. Stretches, mild physical therapy, and osteopathic manipulative treatment can help with this condition

loss of blood

Probably because the blood in his body has to go to his muscles, this blood comes from his fingers so they go numb. Pinched nerve maybe?

Not getting blood circulation to his fingers. If he wears gloves, they are probably too small and cutting his blood circulation off.

poor circulation. i would see a doctor to make sure.

Some nerves may be getting pinch off. i do too. the erason why is because if he workd out really hard then he must do bench press. his fingers go numb because the blood that tries to circulate is stopped by the weight of the bar. then he finishes, his fingers are numb
