There is no doubt that if any physical discomfort occurs during sleep, it will directly affect a person's sleep quality, and sleep quality has a decisive role in the mental state of the next day. However, many older people always feel numbness in their hands and feet while sleeping, which makes it difficult for them to fall asleep. After this phenomenon occurs, we need to understand the cause of numbness in hands and feet when sleeping in order to prescribe the right remedy. 1. Numbness in hands and feet during sleep is mostly a manifestation of local blood circulation disorder caused by hesitation and compression, which is caused by poor peripheral blood circulation. The numbness occurs due to insufficient blood supply to the local hands and feet. Numbness in the hands and feet is a symptom that people often experience in their daily lives. It can be caused by pregnancy, incorrect sleeping posture, and squatting on the toilet for a long time. 2. It will usually disappear in a short time and there will be no big problem. However, for some people, numbness in their hands and feet does not subside for a long time (more than a day), which may be a sign of illness in the body. Diabetes, neuritis, etc. usually occur. There is also numbness caused by taking some medications. 3. Numbness in the hands and feet cannot be treated symptomatically, but the cause must be treated. No matter what causes numbness in the hands and feet, you should first go to the hospital's neurology department for examination. After examination, the hospital can determine whether the nerves are damaged and what kind of stimulation they have received. Further confirm the degree, scope, and nature of nerve damage. Note: Secondly, office workers should also pay more attention. Numbness in the hands and feet may also be a problem with the cervical spine. If you often work at a desk or use a computer, you should consider whether you have cervical spondylosis. Cervical spondylosis can easily compress the nerves, causing poor blood circulation and resulting in numbness in the hands and feet. |
