What Causes Pins And Needles In Both Hands Upon Waking Up?
For approx four days I have been waking with pins and needles in both hands,up to my elbows and I have had a dry cough. My nose is a little blocked sometimes but I have no flu or typical cold. I seem a little allergic to plants (it s spring) so I take antihystermine every second day for that. I m waking at 4 am from these symptoms. By 10 am the symptoms have gone til next morning.

Hi
Pins and needle sensation is typical in neuropathies or nerve related disorders.
Diabetes,Sciatica,Nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin b12 deficiencies,autoimmune disease,certain medication side effects should be ruled out.
Treatment is based on the cause.Hot compress and vitamin b12 injection can reduce the symptoms.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
