What Does Tingling Sensation In The Right Hand Indicate?

HI, I m 53 year old female, and have developed tingling in my right hand especially in the am. My finger tips feel bruised some mornings. I ve been waking up at night with these feelings and try to not sleep on my stomach with my arms at sides or up on pillow which helps a little but I ve always been a stomach sleeper. It s going on about 8 weeks, I m also wearing a wrist support ( for about 1 week)at night but I can t wear it all night without taking it off after about 4 hours. This past week it seems to be uncomfortable all day and my arms are tired . Any suggestions?
