Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HealthcareMagic.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome should be taken in consideration and evaluated further in your case.

Medical examination by a Neurosurgeon and nerve conduction study of both arms are necessary.
