Suggest Remedy For Intermittent Numbness In Hand
Question: I have been having intermittent numbness in my left hand and arm and left lip for the last two nights. I've been doing a lot of knitting for the last sixmonths making bla lets for my kids for Christmas. What do you think is causing this? Thank you.
Brief Answer:
No reason to worry about.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Just numbness without any other symptoms in arm such pain, weakness, confusion, speech and vision problems, may be caused by fatigue, or even by stress.
Changes of blood pressure also, could cause those symptoms by affecting brain blood supply.
I don't think you should worry about, only in case that symptoms persist or new ones appear, especially those mentioned above,
you should consult with a Neurologist.
In this case transient ischemic attack should be considered.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
