What's going on with my hands being numb

If you often feel numbness in your hands, you should first pay attention to your lifestyle habits, such as improper sleeping or sitting posture, which keeps your limbs in a state of oppression for a long time and can cause numbness due to poor blood circulation.

1. When your sleeping or sitting posture is incorrect and your limbs are under pressure for a long time, it is easy to feel numbness or even no sensation. This situation is generally normal and there will be no big problem. It will be relieved quickly after some exercise, so there is no need to worry too much.

2. After the nerves are stimulated, local numbness usually occurs, not numbness of the hands and feet at the same time. For example, cervical spondylosis causes arm numbness, lumbar shoulder nerve stimulation causes leg numbness, etc., all of which are caused by local stimulation leading to numbness in specific parts.

3. Neuritis can damage the nerves in various parts of the body, causing them to not function normally and making the reactions of various parts of the body slow, thus leading to symptoms such as numbness of the hands and feet, muscle atrophy, and weakness in the limbs.

4. If your hands and feet are often numb without being compressed, you should consider whether it is caused by diabetes. Diabetes can also cause body aches and swelling, so the elderly should pay special attention.
