Numbness In Arms, Tingling Sensation, Nauseated, Headaches, Dizziness. Am I Pinching Nerve?
Lately my arms keep going numb while I'm asleep. Last night it woke me up. As I was trying to get the tingles out, I began to feel nauseated and light headed. Finally got back to sleep an hour later but woke with a terrible headache. I've been having dizzy spells quite frequently over the last year, with a few close episodes of syncope. Have seen a neurologist and a cardiologist. Do know I have 2nd degree AV block. Is the numbness and nausea something I should worry about or am I pinching a nerve while sleeping?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. Numbness during sleep is common, and can occur without a pinched nerve. If the symptoms come while awake also, then it could be a pinched nerve in the neck. Your headaches and dizziness could be related to migraine. Please get back if you require any additional information.
