What Causes Tingling In Fingers That Is Spreading Towards The Hand?

Hi , I been having a problem with tingling in my fingers on the left hand. At first the tingling was just in the tip of my fingers but now it feels like it is moving down my fingers. They don't tingle all the time but they do tingle a lot. Can u please help me out with this? What could it be?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely due to carpal tunnel syndrome.Physical examination with an orthopedician may rule out the condition.For my patients i recommend splinting of wrist and avoiding symptom causing activities.Physical therapy includes ultrasound, stretching, and range-of-motion exercises.NSAIDs are given for symptom relief.Corticosteroids are used in some cases as local injections or as oral.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
