What Could Cause Numbness In The Fingers And Hands And Sudden Loss Of Balance?
My left hand suddenly starting tingling like it was asleep but I was just sitting on the couch watching TV. My little finger had been numb ever since with additional tingling in my hand and ring finger down to my wrist. Also, I keep losing my balance. Just falling off my shoes (not heels). Just tipping over without warning.

Hello,
Your presentation points towards possible mini stroke-like symptoms.
You should consult nearby physician for detailed evaluation.
Your blood pressure should be checked and echocardiography should be done for primary work up.
It's also advisable to investigate with CBC, B12 estimation and random sugar estimation for such symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami, General & Family Physician
