Suggest Remedy For Numbness On Hand When Diagnosed With Afib

? Suspecting a few conditions which I have listed out for you sir
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. I am extremely sorry for the delayed response if there was any, but your question was only released an hour ago and I took it upon myself to help you as soon as I saw the question.
In my opinion, from the information provided and some extra information that I saw you posted about experiencing numbness while exercising (cycling), I think the following could be the only possibilities, which can then be narrowed down to the exact cause:
+Carpal tunnel syndrome: Tinel's sign, Phalen's sign, along with a physical examination to be conducted by a doctor to confirm/rule out this condition
+Nutritional deficiencies: Low levels of calcium, sodium, vitamin B12, etc; can cause such a presentation and will have to be checked
+Trauma: Especially to the nerves (mainly the median nerve)
+Poor blood circulation: Will require a blood coagulation profile, cardiac profile and lipid profile to ensure all is well
In my opinion, carpal tunnel syndrome is the most likely option, but please do understand that I am suspecting this without a physical examination which is vital here and so I could easily be wrong. But the above list of possibilities is quite apt in my opinion.
Please also feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.

Detailed Answer:
Hello once again sir.
Epoetin (i.e. erythropoietin) should help in treating or at the least controlling anaemia to a certain extent which could be possible, but hypoxia is more likely due to the lack of oxygen and difficulty in delivery that you are experiencing.
You can initiate the epoetin either in oral supplement or injection form and watch for its effect. As for the unfortunate side effect of the TURP, we will have to try to increase both the blood circulation to the penis as well as the amount of oxygen content in your blood. As sleep studies have reported low oxygen levels, we will have to somehow tackle this problem and for this you should speak to a pulmonologist further sir.
You could be anaemic, yes, which is why I recommend trying the epoetin that can help; but also go ahead with a blood analysis to ensure which type of anaemia you could be having which in turn will help treating you more accurately.
Please feel free to write to me for any further clarifications, I am always here to help.
Best wishes.
