Any idea what it could mean if your hand is tingly?

Question:

My right hand has felt like needles for a few hours now, almost like it's asleep but not as bad. And I feel it more when I make a fist. Yes, I will go to the doctor tomorrow, this is not an emergency, but do you have any ideas of what it could be? Thanks.

Answers:
Possible suggestions, pinched nerves, carpal tunnell, symptoms of diabetes; If there is any numbness in your arm, you need to call the Doc tonight especially if the hand is cold or discolored. Your circulation might be restricted-depending on your age, and other health issues, this doesn't sound right--I probably wouldn't wait till morning.

Were you lying on it? It could be a pinched nerve.

if your hand has been tingly for a few hours and you aren't sitting on it or otherwise cutting off blood flow then get to the hospital now

you have a pinched nerve in your shoulder a doc will not help you.A chropractor will.Go to him first ...

are you taking any medications--topamax can cause this.

Sounds like either a pinched nerve or carpal tunnel syndrome - make sure you keep your appointment tomorrow as either could lead to permanent damage. good luck.

Sounds like carpal tunnel to me.Have you been spending alot of time on the computer or working alot with your fingers?Building airplane models used to make my hand numb, because of all the small parts.

First look at your finger and sqeeze the end of it and let go it should turn white and then turn red soon after. I would keep your hand low and move your fingers to get blood flow and keep it warm untill you can get to the doctor. I would also keep an eye on the color of your hand.

Definitely have it looked at by a Professional, The Dr will always ask if you have any tingling. I think it has to do with the nerves. Best of Luck and God Bless
