Fingers On Hand Seem To Be Numb After Sleeping, Feeling Resumes After Lot Of Flexing. Suggest?

Thanks for your query.
Loss of sensation or feeling numb in three fingers after sleeping can occur in a disease known as CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME , in this your median nerve which passes through the wrist to supply thumb , index , middle , half of ring finger gets trapped in the wrist.During sleeping your body makes hundreds of postures which you donot know , but in many patients sleeping with extended wrist can give you this problem.Treatment is simply prevention of those postures in sleeping which cause extension of wrist , muscle relaxant , and wrist/arm massage.
Secondly carpel tunnel syndrome in your age can be caused by thyroid problem as well , so get a thyroid profile to be on the safe side.
For confirmation of the diagnosis you need to visit a neurophysician / rehabilitation docotor.
Hope this helps.
Take care.
