I Get A Tingling Sensation In Both Of My Hands
Question: I get a tingling sensation in both of my hands usually the wrist and palms every night while sleeping. Could it be due to weakness?
Brief Answer:
It depends.. there are multiple causes for such tingling.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service.
There are multiple reasons for such tingling sensation in the hands.
One of the more common reasons is vitamin B12 deficiency
The next cause is, repetitive injury.
Third probability is nerve entrapment/compression
Another probability is, reduced blood supply to the nerves
And temperature can also cause such sensation.
If you are diabetic, you can experience such symptoms.
So given the varied causes, it is not possible to make a proper diagnosis without complete history as well as thorough physical and neurological examination in person.
Please consult a neurologist near you and get yourself examined to find out the cause and then treatment is based on the cause, it could be simple correction of vitamin deficiency or it could be surgery if there is nerve compression.
I hope this answers your question.
Best wishes

I've gone through a vitamin B12 test which in my case is 195 pg/mL. I need some advice on getting it within the expected range (200 - 1100 pg/mL). If that doesn't work, I can look forward to visit a neurologist.
Thanks.
Thanks.

As suspected, you have vitamin B12 deficiency.
Vitamin B12 is only available in animal products/meat.
You should increase the quantity of meat consumption.
Otherwise you will have to take vitamin supplement tablets like Becosules every day or on alternate days.
