Why has my right arm been falling asleep for the past 2 months. I ha e a 22 month old that is 30 pounds and I lift him and hold him with that arm. I was pregnant and miscarried 4 weeks ago. I am also over weight and was told a year ago my cholesterol was up but not enough for meds. It happens from mostly my elbow down but I do feel it in my upper arm a little. Mostly at night when I curl my arm under me. Tonight it started when I sat down for the first time leaning to the right and curling my arm. It is hard to get it to completely go away and it is partially numb now curling my arm to type this. I am nervous. There is a possibility I am pregnant again as my doctorsaid it was ok. I have Read about pregnancy induced carpal tunnel syndrome or could it be something worse? Thank you.
