What Causes Numbness In Fingers And Hands?

Hi , I am 39 years old . I ve been having numbness on my fingers and hands for a while . But the past months it s been happening on everyday basics . Last week I woke up and my arm was numbed (like dead) it took me a while to get feel it again. I been having problems even during the day when I am holding my phone writing(right now) I have to move some fingers because I lost sensation. The past two months I ve been also waking up with a rapid heart rate. I know the feeling of panic attacks I had many a few years back. And this is something completely different . I ve been talking my blood pressure as soon as I wake up and sometimes is high 140/95 and heart beat 110 other times is 135/85 and heartbeat 105 . What do you think I should do about it ?

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.
Due to compression of this nerve root there is tingling numbness in your arm and fingers pain associated with it.
I will advise you to MRI cervical spine for better diagnosis.

It can be due to various causes like sudden jerk to spine, due to facet arthritis, degenerative.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. If you are satisfied with answer do not hesitate to rate this answer at end of discussion.
