Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern.
This can be because of nerve compression due to your pre existing disease.
This might also be due to Carpel Tunnel syndrome.
I would advise you to get following:
1. NCV of both hands.
2. X ray Cervical Spine
3. Blood sugar levels.
This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you any have further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy
